Lord Jesus - you speak to us in God's holy word.
Christ Jesus - you will come again in the end times.
Lord Jesus - you bring us new life.
Priest: Let us present our prayers to God, the shepherd who cares for all the flock:
1. For those in leadership roles in the Church, that they may show the kindness and sensitivity of the Good Shepherd.
2. For leaders of governments and nations, that they may work for justice and truth.
3. For our brothers and sisters in prison, that we may not forget our duty to care for them and their families.
4. For those who have passed beyond this world, that they may dwell in the Lord’s house for ever.
5. For the sick and shut-ins, for those who need healing in their lives - body, mind, or spirit.
6. For all those traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday. For our children and youth who are on Thanksgiving break. May the Lord keep us safe and bless our gatherings and our travel.
7. For the people we love — particularly those in need of support at this time, whom we remember in the silence of our hearts.
Priest: Loving God, caring shepherd, you look after your people at every moment of their lives: Hear the prayers we make, in trust and faith, through Christ our Lord forever and ever. Amen
