Lord Jesus - you call us to faith.
Christ Jesus - you call us to holiness.
Lord Jesus - you call us to works of action.
With faith and hope, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For the Church: that the power of Christ’s resurrection may give us vision and perspective for our lives and the courage to live for God each day.
2. For growth in faith: that we may recognize our need for God in every part of our lives and deepen our trusting reliance upon God, who provides all that we need for life and wholeness.
3. For new sight and insight: that we may not be blinded by comfort or privilege to the struggles and suffering of others
4. For discernment: that we may see beyond the false answers of consumerism and prosperity and recognize that we will only find the true fulfillment of our hungers and desires in God.
5. For all who are persecuted or suffering for their faith: that they may have the strength to bear the burdens of the day and be convincing witnesses of the new life given by God.
6. For the prayers we hold in the silence in our hearts.
Lord, we thank you for the blessings we have in life. We thank you for your grace that helps us meet our challenges. We present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
