Prayers of the Faithful – November 11 & 12, 2023
Presider:
Let us pray for wisdom and vision as we look to what lies ahead.
Lector:
- For the Church: that we may have a spirit of readiness so that we can respond to God’s presence and invitations at any moment, we pray:
- For the grace to live in the here and now: that we may not be consumed by the endless things that need to be done tomorrow, nor trapped by the events of yesterday and forget the gift of today, we pray:
- For healing of our nation: that God will heal the wounded relationships and mistrust amongst people, and help us to work together for the needs of all, we pray:
- For all who feel trapped by fear or anxiety: that God will free their hearts and help them live in the assurance of God’s abiding love, we pray:
- For all who have served our nation: that they may enjoy rest and be blest with health and peace, we pray:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers including:Nicole Marschall, Chuck Ticky II, Patty Haggerty. Peter Herrero, and Susie Nelson, that they may they find comfort in the healing touch of God and in the loving care of family and friends, we pray:
- For all who have died, especially, Keith Fossum, brother of Kevin Fossum; that God will fill them with life and give consolation and peace to those who grieve them, we pray:
Presider:
God of the past, present and future, we ask you to help us look with courage at what lies ahead. Give us the wisdom to live each day as if it were our last. Grant us courage to trust in what is yet to come. We ask this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
