    Prayers for April 20, 2025


    Holy God, we come to you in prayer for the church, your good creation, and all who are in need.


    Bless all who gather around the world and in this community on this Easter morning.  Let our shouts of hallelujah ring out across the world, bringing hope to the hopeless, peace to the restless and joy to those who are dispirited.

              God of grace, hear our prayer.


    Renew the life of your creation and encourage all who strive to build more sustainable systems for life and thriving.

            God of grace, hear our prayer.


    Bring peace and justice among your people. Where there is oppression or fear, bring liberation and hope.  Instill wisdom and humility in local and national leaders. Guide them to serve their communities in the way of Christ.  


            God of grace, hear our prayer.


    Console all who suffer. We pray especially for all who are lonely and yearning for community.  Assure them of your loving presence. Come alongside all who cry out to you in any need especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts. 


            God of grace, hear our prayer.


    In the bread and cup we share, you show us the way of love poured out for the whole world.  Grant safe passage to all who travel this week and bless their time away with loved ones. 


            God of grace, hear our prayer.


    We remember the saints who rest in you. Confident of your steadfast love, we commend them to your eternal care.

            God of grace, hear our prayer.
