Prayers of the Faithful – August 9 & 10, 2025
Presider:
Trusting in the God who is faithful to all generations, we bring our prayers before the Lord:
Lector:
- For the Church: that she may always be a faithful steward of the Gospel, ready to serve whenever and wherever Christ calls… we pray to the Lord:
- For world leaders: that they may govern with wisdom, foresight, and a spirit of justice for all people… we pray to the Lord:
- For patience: that we may have the grace to wait upon God, even when answers do not seem clear and trust in God’s love and providence, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who struggle with doubt or fear: that the promise of God’s presence may bring them hope and peace… we pray to the Lord:
- For our community: that we may live generously, ready to share our time, talent, and treasure with others in need… we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, especially Joyce Hauser and Mike Bergwall. May they find comfort in the healing touch of God and by the loving care of family and friends. We pray to the Lord:
- For those who have died with faith in the resurrection; that they may now share fully in the risen and ascended life of Christ. We pray to the Lord:
Presider:
Faithful God, you call us to be vigilant and ready. Hear these prayers and help us to live each day in hopeful expectation of your kingdom. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
