Prayers of Intersection
United with the saints of
every time and place, let us pray for the church, those in need,
and all of God’s creation.
Faithful God, when we question the future, you reveal the hope
of victory through your Son, Jesus Christ. Give us the wisdom to
rely on your words and the courage to witness to your love and
faithfulness. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God our joy, the seas and the hills shout your praise. Inspire
us to sing a joyful song to you as we work to preserve and
protect your marvelous creation. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God our ruler, you judge the world with righteousness and the
people with equity. Grant perseverance to world leaders and
elected officials, so that they never grow weary in doing what
is right. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
Gracious God, you offer peace to fearful hearts. Heal the hurts
of all those who suffer injustice and persecution, those who
spend months and years in prisons and in hospitals, and for
anyone in need today (especially). Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
God our song, thank you for worship leaders, artists, and
musicians who create works of praise and prayer. Guide them in
their leadership, and empower them to lift up new voices and
works of art among the assembly. Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
Everlasting God, as we await the dawn of the new heaven and the
new earth, we give thanks for your beloved who have died in
Christ (especially Elizabeth of Hungary, renewer of society).
Hear us, O God.
Your mercy is great.
Rejoicing in hope, we lift our prayers to you, most gracious
Lord, trusting that you have received them in your care.
Amen
