Prayers of the Faithful 

God encourages us to pray for each other.

Let us pray . . .


For the Church and for the world


For guidance for the people of this land and of all nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that our lives may honor and glorify God


For wisdom that we might use the resources of His creation rightly in the service of others to the honor and glory of His name


For strength, protection, and deliverance of all those who are persecuted for their faith in Christ, and grant that we who enjoy the benefits of freedom might boldly proclaim His Word to the lost and hurting of this world


That those whose lives are closely linked with ours be blessed and grant that we may serve Christ in them, and love one another as He loves us 


That comfort and healing be granted to all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit; and for courage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of His salvation 


That those who have died be commended to His mercy, that His will for them may be fulfilled; and that we may share with all His Saints in His eternal kingdom.

Lord, hear the prayers of Your people; and what we have asked faithfully, grant that we may obtain effectually, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
