Dear Lord –

We come to you waiting, trusting, believing,
sensing you with us, your Spirit
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 doubt
when we are anxious even in times of plenty.
Guide us back to you, when we stray from the path

We are mindful this week of our nation,
of our Independence Day, of our veterans.
We pray for our country,
for those who love her and for all who protect her,
especially those standing guard in the
dark places of this world, even now
so that we may remain free.

We pray for all those who are hurting,
who need your healing touch.
We pray for those on our prayer circle and
for those who have been lifted up this morning aloud
or in silence, spoken within our hearts.
We know You know what is needed and
you will provide that healing.

We pray for those in the Methodist faith
who are sitting in congregations
with a new pastor this morning
and we pray for their new pastors.
May this be a wonderful opportunity
for these disciples, together, as one,
for all of them to grow and to serve You.

We bring our lives to you and we lay our joys,
our concerns, our celebrations and
our worries at your cross.
Calm us, that we may hear you
your calling for our lives;
Speak to us now, your servants are listening, for
We trust in you, our Creator and our Savior.

And we join with all of Christ’s disciples
sharing the prayer that he taught his first disciples, saying. . .

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever.  Amen.
