Lord Jesus - You are the word of God.
Christ Jesus - you call us to a life of discipleship.
Lord Jesus - You teach us about the kingdom of God.
With humble hearts, we now bring our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our church leaders, may they help us bear witness to the Gospel in our lives each day.
2. For our community of faith: that we reach out to the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized in our words and in works of mercy.
3. For all who are persecuted for the faith, for those who are struggling with committing to the faith, for those who have fallen away from the practice of their faith: that they may feel God’s love and mercy reaching out to them.
4. For all couples preparing for the sacrament of holy matrimony and for couples who are newly married: that the Lord strengthen their bound of love and unity.
5. For all who have died: that the Lord welcome them into the kingdom of light and peace.
6. For all missionaries who spread the Gospel message throughout the world: that we may collaborate with them and may all of us be missionary in spirit.
7. For healing for all of us in body, mind, and spirit.
8. For the prayers we hold in our hearts.
As we ask you to encourage us on our journey of faith, we present our prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. Amen.
