Prayer
of Intercession
Let
us pray for the whole world
for
all creation, for every living creature
for
plants and flowers,
for
animals and for fragile human beings.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Let
us pray for those who suffer
the
sick and dying, for sorrow,
and
for the loss that separates us
from
the love of the eternal God.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Let
us pray for the nations of the world
for
all people,
for
the land and water that sustains and renews life.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Let
us pray for the leaders of nation and cities;
May
they remember to lean into you
and
to listen to your words.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Gracious
God, protect those who have no place to live
and
no one to love them.
Help
them to know you, and to know love.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
We
offer up our prayers of concern particularly for those we love:
family,
friends, and others.
Fill
us with Your Spirit.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
For
all the blessings of this life we offer thanks,
help
us to have generous hearts and giving spirits.
Help
us to be your hands in the world.
Gracious
God, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Amen.
