Prayer For Today
by DWE
Prayers of Intercession
Renewed in God’s everlasting grace, let us pray for the church, the world, and all creation.
A brief silence.
Free your church, O God, with grace, mercy, and love to be transformed by your word. Direct your church to be united in word and deed so that all creation knows the uniting and transforming power of the gospel. God of grace, receive our prayer.
Renew creation, O God, so that all living creatures thrive together. Guide those who work to restore and renew creation. Preserve and care for endangered species throughout the world. God of grace, receive our prayer.
Bring peace among the nations, O God, so violence and terror are not the norm on your earth. Inspire leaders of communities to work for peace and justice. Unite our politicians with a common mission and purpose. God of grace, receive our prayer.
Heal all who suffer, O God, and bring them peace. Draw near to people who are incarcerated. Give hope to people experiencing housing or employment insecurity, oppression, or discrimination. Heal those who are ill. Be our stronghold at all times. God of grace, receive our prayer.
Forgive us our sins, O God, and grant us your grace. Move us to understanding and reconciliation between people of other faiths and other Christian traditions in our community. Mend hurt feelings and heal wounds we have caused one another. God of grace, receive our prayer.
We pray for all who experience exclusion due to sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability, race, ethnicity, or any other distinction people would make. O God, enable us to confront the intersection of oppression in our society, work for inclusion, and make all your lambs welcome in your church universal. God of grace, receive our prayer.
We give you thanks, O God, for the life and witness of all your saints. Give us hope in your son’s victory through the cross. God of grace, receive our prayer.
We offer our prayers, O God, trusting in your everlasting grace and mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
