PRAYERS
OF THE PEOPLE
Dear
gracious heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, beautiful Holy Spirit, our
one true God, as we continually hear in the Psalms, we too sing songs of
praise and worship of you in our souls.
You are amazing. We
are so thankful for the blessings you have arranged in our lives.
We thank you for the truth that we are never away from you, even when we
are suffering. And this is
certainly an issue we lift before you, when we think of others. Protect and support governmental leaders in every country who
want to use their authority for true justice to help suffering human
beings. Convert or do away
with the evil ones whose goals are to destroy the lives of others.
Bring a supportive and assurance spirit to those whom you have called
and taught to proclaim your good news to your already adopted children.
We ask for this, all over the world.
And certainly Lord, we pray that you will lead us, as your
children, in this congregation, to see and understand your everlasting
love in our present situation.
Father, we are now going to take a few moments of silent prayer, where
we bring before you our loved ones, whom we are concerned about. And if it is your will, please lead any one of us to pray out
loud…
O God, the author of peace and lover of mercy, to know you is eternal
life, to serve you is perfect freedom.
Guide us by your truth, and order us in all your ways, that we
may always do what is right in your eyes; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
