Prayer for Others
(inspired by Psalm
121)
Lord
God, Maker of heaven and earth.
You
made magnificent mountains and the oceans,
the
tiny worms and bugs, and everything in between.
And,
you made us.
You
are amazing and powerful, yet you love each of us dearly.
Thank
you for guiding our lives and ruling all of creation.
In
the knowledge of your love and your power,
we
bring before you our prayers for our world.
Lord
of Hosts,
Guide
the leaders of our world and give your wisdom to all who are making
decisions.
Send
your peace on earth.
In
you alone, the maker of heaven and earth, we find our help.
[a few moments of
silence]
Gracious
God,
May
our Christian friends throughout the world feel your power and strength.
Bring
an end to the fighting among believers
and
the persecution of believers by unbelievers.
Give
our missionaries courage and compassion.
In
you alone, the maker of heaven and earth, we find our help.
[a few moments of
silence]
God
of compassion,
Bless
us and those we love with safety, health, endurance.
In
you alone, the maker of heaven and earth, we find our help.
[ few moments of
silence]
Our
help comes from you,
the
Maker of heaven and earth for you watches over us day and night
and
you have provided for all we need through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
