Prayers for February 22, 2026

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

God of all grace, grant faith and patience to your church to listen for you in every place and time of our days. Lend us your nerve to remain steadfast in your word, to resist temptation and to worship and serve you alone.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God of all creation, tend this earth. Lead us by your Spirit into ways of reverence, awe, and gentleness to protect this planet and the life it contains.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God of all nations, preserve us from trouble. Surround all living in places of violence with your steadfast love and give resilience to all who work for peace. Grant courage to those who challenge injustice and carelessness acts, especially around issues of racism and systemic oppression.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God of all healing, mend our wounds. Bring wholeness to all who are sick, give peace to all who groan in grief, and send companions to all who are lonely or isolated. especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God of all people, you formed us to be in relationship with one another.  Help us to listen    and discern your word so that we may better serve the needs of our community both within and outside these walls.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

God of all life, bring us to you. We thank you for your free and abounding grace, and for those who, by that same grace, now rest eternally in you.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
