Sunday Prayer

Creator God, we come before you-
Asking prayers for those who
Lead
Nations
Cities
Churches
Homes
As you poured out your love in the Word
May we hear your word and follow
May the words of our mouths and
The meditations of our hearts lead us
To you.
Holy One, we come before you -
a people broken into
shards of lives
sick,
poor,
hungry
hidden by the limitations of our eyes.
Help us to see as You see
As you poured out your love in the Word
May we hear your word and follow
May the words of our mouths and
The meditations of our hearts lead us
To you.

God of Mercy, we come before you –
Seeking to live as you command, but often
Failing, and thus we are torn by
Cries of despair
Anger
Power
Control
lost to foolishness and
Stumbling blocks
despite your love in the Word
Help us to hear your word and follow
May the words of our mouths and
The meditations of our hearts lead us
To you.

Gentle God, we come before you-
Giving thanks for all our blessings
the gift of life
hope
faith
love
family
friends
all we care for this day
Help us to be Your Hands

Incline Your heart, O gracious God, and teach us to love
O Christ, our rock and our Redeemer.

Amen.
