Prayers for September 7, 2025

Let us pray for the church, the creation, and the whole people of God, for God is near.

We pray for the church to transform lives through the sharing of your stories of love for all people. Help us learn from these stories and choose life in God as our own. 

God of grace, hear our prayer.

We pray for creation, that it may be cherished and nurtured.  Make us all loving caretakers of this amazing world that you have created to inspire and sustain us.  

God of grace, hear our prayer.

We pray for those in authority that they set aside personal ambitions and govern for the common good. Grant them wisdom to govern justly and compassion to care for those on the margins of life.

God of grace, hear our prayer.

We pray for those who are named on our prayer list and all others who are sick, hungry, unhoused, or lonely. May they find healing through your love and the care of those around them.

God of grace, hear our prayer.

We pray for this congregation, that we realize the good we can do for Christ by faithfully reading and retelling your stories. Keep us united in love and faith and deepen our support for one another. 

God of grace, hear our prayer.

We thank you for those who have died and now dwell with the saints. Surround them with your divine mercy, that they find peace and rest in your loving embrace. 

God of grace, hear our prayer.
