    Prayers for May 18, 2025


    God of resurrection and new life, we come before you in prayer for the church, the world, and all who are in need.


    Loving Spirit, fill the church with your redeeming love.  Make us steadfast in our proclamation of your grace for all people and without exception.  Encourage us to reach out to those in our communities who are often overlooked.

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.


    God our father and creator, awaken within us a sense of joy in the beauty and abundance of the earth.  Show us the wonder of your presence from the smallest flower to the tallest tree.

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.


    Almighty God, instill within all world leaders the desire to protect the most vulnerable.  Guide those in power to work towards equitable and just economic policies, so that all might have sufficient resources to live safely and with dignity.  

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.


    Lord of life, pour out your love on all in need of care: those mourning losses, enduring trauma, experiencing broken relationships, yearning for companionship, and/or facing illness.  We pray for those named on our prayer list and those held in our hearts. 

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.


    Maker of all things, breathe your loving spirit into the hearts of this congregation.  We pray in thanksgiving for Logan who comes to the waters of baptism.  Bless him and nurture him in his faith. 

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.


    Eternal God, we give thanks for all the saints whose lives bear witness to your redeeming love.  Guide us by their example, until we join them in your eternal home. 

              Hear us, O God, your mercy is great.
