    Prayers for March 23, 2025


    Led by the Spirit, let us turn to God in prayer for the church, the world, and all those in need.


    We pray for the church, that it carries the message of God’s love and forgiveness out into the world.  Grant humility and wisdom to church leaders and our congregations as we help those who suffer in any way.

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.


    We pray for the earth.  We pray for the wisdom to appreciate and value the goodness of God’s generosity.  Help us to share what we have been given so that all life may flourish on this, our shared home. 

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.


    We pray for all nations that their leaders would hear God’s call to protect their citizens and work together for justice and peace.  Forge bonds of compassion and mutual care across human borders and boundaries.  

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.


    We pray for those in need.  May God comfort those whose lives have been disrupted by natural disasters and human conflict.  Heal those who are sick and give strength to those who face the end of life.  Bless those we name on our prayer list and whom we hold in our hearts.  May all know they are not alone. 

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.


    We pray for our congregation.  Let us be a caring community that supports one another and welcomes our neighbors.  Bless all organizations that address human hunger and thirst. 

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.


    We give thanks for the faithful lives of those who proclaimed God’s gospel in times of challenge and strife.  We pray for all those whose lives of love and service have ended.  May their witness inspire us to be true followers of Christ.

              God, in your mercy, receive our prayer.
