Prayer of God’s People
Dear God, thank you for the word of Jesus Christ that we are given hope in every moment. Lord, we are never far from your love, no matter how insignificant we seem to be.
In the life of this community known as your church, we pray for your divine guidance as we persevere along the road of life. Lead us to become the faithful disciples who live our lives in Christ-like ways so that whoever encounters us would see that the Lord is present.
Bless and protect the 8 persons on our Thailand Mission Team as they begin their mission adventures in the Chiang Mai area this week. Not only grant them strength to bring clean water to a village but empower them to share the truth of the Gospel in Jesus Christ with all whom they will meet. And nearer to home, continue to make your presence known to our Day Camp campers and staff as they begin their 4th week tomorrow. We pray for…
While we know that you have charged us to be strong in the Lord, O God, we are still in need of forgiveness. Free us from our absorption in our own concerns that we forget your loving intention for us. We obey our own passions rather than joining your intention for the good of all. Forgive us for the shameful things we have done and the things we have failed to do. We want to claim your free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ whose name we pray together, “Our Father…”
Benediction
Serving as the hands and feet of Christ,
Fill your lives with the welcoming heart of God
And go forth to spread love wherever it is needed.
May the blessing of God, the love of Christ and the courage of the Holy Spirit go with you today. Amen.
