These
are times of great upheaval,
of
natural disasters,
of
changes in our weather,
seemingly
out of control
times
of violence, of war,
times
of transitions,
of
our place in this world.
We
come to you hurting,
in
pain, needing rest,
your
peace, your presence with us.
We
come to you hopeful,
needing
your love
knowing
you are with us,
in
all that we face.
We
have lifted up those who are in pain,
those
who are sick;
we
lift up our nation,
the
world, all of us.
Watch
over us Lord,
come
into each situation, heal us,
mend
us, we want to be your people.
We
come to you waiting,
trusting,
believing,
our
hope in you
knowing
you will provide,
that
you will heal us,
that
we can walk boldly,
safe
in your arms.
Help
us when we struggle,
when
we are anxious
even
in times of plenty.
When
we are out in the world
guide
us back to you,
when
we stray from your path
gather
us into your flock
We
bring our lives to you and
we
lay our joys, our concerns,
our
celebrations and our worries at your cross.
We
trust in You, our Creator and our Savior,
your
Spirit burning within us.
We
pray all these things
in
the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
