Our loving healing redeemer. We come before you this day with many things on our hearts and in our minds. We come before you knowing you are a loving God who cares for us in ways deeper than we can understand, and who has a purpose for each one of us. You have promised that we can cast all our anxieties on you because you care for us.
We Bring to You Now Those Things Worrying Us:
- Our concerns for our health
- Our children and their needs
- The bills that need paying
- Our work
- The activities we are involved in. We pray that in all these things you would be our guide.
For those who mourn – we pray that they would be blessed and comforted as you have promised.
For those who are hungry – physically or emotionally – that they would be filled
For those who are poor - either in spirit or financially – that the Kingdom of God would be theirs.
For those who show mercy to others - that they will be shown mercy
For those who are pure in heart - that they would see God
For the peacemakers - we pray that they would be called sons and daughters of God
For those who hunger and thirst to see right prevail - may they see right overcome wrong, and may they be filled with peace
For those who suffer for doing good – may you strengthen and reward them
For any of us – or our friends who are going through a particularly hard time. May you walk with us carrying us through this time in our lives? May we know your peace when things are in turmoil around us?
We particularly remember those who are hurting. May they be filled with your amazing love and have a purpose to carry them through this stage of their lives.We pray for all who serve you in the Church and community. For our children and young people, may your light shine in their lives and may you guide them on the path you have for them.
For each of us may we know your healing within and your Holy Spirit in a real and powerful way in our lives. We ask that this day, and through this week we will follow Jesus’ example to love and serve, and may we know we are redeemed by his love and forgiveness. That whatever hard things we have to face we can call on you for help.
Today Oh Lord I say yes to you
To life
To all that is true and good
And beautiful.
