Prayers for March 15, 2026

Reconciled by God’s mercy and sustained by God’s presence, let us pray for the world and its needs.

God, our shepherd, we pray that you guide the church to be the light of the world. Lead Christians in our community and across the globe to see your presence in the smallest and most unexpected places and to share your truth so that others may experience the joy of your love. 

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God our provider, we cry out for this planet and the life it holds. Rescue endangered animals and plants, preserve threatened ecosystems, and save creatures from natural disasters. 

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God our light in this world, we plead for your peace on earth. Bring an end to war and violence fueled by anger and vengeance and raise leaders who will never give up in their efforts to transform our world with goodness and mercy.  

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God our divine savior, we call to you in our need. Uplift all who are made to feel unimportant and transform the hearts of all infected by bigotry and prejudice. Care for all in special need this day especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts. 

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God our friend, we praise you for the diversity of people among us. Inspire us to take risks to find new ways to share and receive the gifts we each possess.  Stir in us a spirit of understanding, celebration, and welcome for all. 

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God our home, we thank you for all who have died and completed their baptismal journeys. Grant us faith to live until we too dwell in your house forever.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
