PRAYERS
OF THE PEOPLE
Our gracious heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, eternal loving Holy
Spirit, and our almighty God: we praise You and thank You, that before
the foundation of this world You arranged for us to be here today so
that we may participate with Jesus in His worship for You.
It is through the joyfulness and the blessings which you have given to
us, within our lives that we want to be a part of your ministry and to
pray for others. Again we
thank You for teaching us that Jesus, through the Holy Spirit intercedes
for us.
As Your Church, we pray for Your blessings upon us so that we may serve
You, and know that we are ministering to others with You. Help us to focus on Your amazing news to us, about what You
have already accomplished, so that we may share that with the lost, the
poor, the sick, the mourning, and your children in this community whom
you have predestined to be our sisters and brothers.
We pray for our community, our state, our country, and human suffering
situation all over this world. Please
strengthen and guide Your Christians all around this world to promote
Your truth, personally in needy people’s lives.
And now, ever loving Lord, we are going to take some time to lift up to
You our loved ones, those on our hearts, who need Your help and healing.
If it is Your will, lead certain ones of us top pray out loud …
Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of Your people. In Your great mercy, look with compassion on us and to all
who turn to You for help, for You are gracious, O lover of souls. To You
we give glory, O blessed Trinity, now and forever.
Amen.
