Sunday Prayer

Oh Lord hear our prayers
Prayers for hope for those who feel hopeless
Prayers for healing for those who need healing
Prayers for jobs for those who are jobless
Prayers for community for those who feel lonely
Prayers for peace for those whose lives are filled with conflict.
Prayers for understanding for those seeking to be understood.
Prayers for comfort those who grieve.
Prayers for food for those who hunger.
Prayers for shelter for those who are homeless.
Prayers for clean water for those whose waters are contaminated
Prayers for rain for those who live in drought.
Prayers for a time of drying for those who are facing too much rain.
Prayers for freedom for those who live under dictatorships.
Prayers for wisdom for our leaders.
Prayers for Spiritual growth and health for our churches.
Prayers for your Kingdom to reign here on earth.
Amen

I could really use prayers over the next few weeks. I am still seeking a first call (graduated last May), and was just assigned by my denomination to South Dakota - which means a several state move for my family. We are happy to relocate if it means I have a call!

In addition, my husband lost his job a few weeks ago and is looking for work. The possibility of moving complicates his job seeking process as well.

I should be hearing from the synod person in charge of placing first call candidates sometime next week. We need prayers that the Spirit moves, that there is a congregation in SD waiting for me and that my husband can find work - and that it all happens soon! Also for peace during this very unsettling time!
