    Prayers for June 4, 2023


    Trusting in God's abundant mercy, let us offer our prayers for a world in need.

     

    God, our Father, we all come into this world from you.  Guide your church, and each of us, to follow your example and be a uniting and creative force in the world.


         God in your mercy,

              hear our prayer.  

     

    God, you see all things and attend to even the smallest details of your creation.  Guide humankind to take the same care with the world around us as you did when you made it. 


         God in your mercy,

              hear our prayer.

     

    God our maker, you created a world that was intended for good. Raise up leaders who listen earnestly, speak honestly, and govern thoughtfully.  Heal divisions between nations, so that we might agree with one another and live in peace.


         God in your mercy,

              hear our prayer. 

     

    God Almighty, you promise to be with us always, to the end of the age.  Surround those most in need of your healing presence:  any who are lonely, all who are grieving, and those who are sick, especially those named on our prayer list and in our hearts.


         God in your mercy,

              hear our prayer.

     

    God, just as you rested, you give rest when our work is done.  We give thanks for all the saints who now rest in you, confident in the promise of resurrection life in the age to come.


         God in your mercy,

              hear our prayer.
