Reconciled by God’s mercy and sustained by God’s presence, let us pray for the world and its needs.
A brief silence.
We pray for the church. Grant life and peace to all who gather in your name. Breathe into us so that we may share your message of forgiveness, hope, and love.
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
We pray for creation. Renew landscapes that have dried up, prosper the work of those who restore homes and habitats after natural disasters, and sustain places where biodiversity thrives.
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
We pray for the nations. Unbind leaders trapped by fear to act boldly for justice, free all who live in places of war and violence, and guide refugees and asylum seekers to safety.
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
We pray for all people in need. Take away the stone of poverty that weighs down so many. Console any who weep and heal all who are sick especially Jeremy Neiswonger Jr., Frankie Dinnebier, Michelle Bush, Larry Smith, Caleb Schmitz, Dick Frush, Bonnie Thompson, and Nancy Olson. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
We pray for this assembly. Ready the hearts and spirits of all preparing to be baptized. Deepen our wonder at the mystery of your resurrection and life.
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
We offer our thanksgiving for (Jonathan Edwards and ) all people who have died in faith. Give us faith to trust in your power to redeem and save, and bring us up from our graves to life in you.
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
Receive our prayers, O God, through Jesus Christ, our strength and salvation.
Amen.
