Weekly Prayers of the People

Gathered with one voice, we offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all who are in need.

​

God of roots and branches, defend the leaders of your church as they proclaim the gospel using discernment, wisdom, and brave testimony. Within the BC Synod, we pray for Grace Lutheran and South Peace United in Dawson Creek – Rev. Marilyn Carroll (United); and Deo Lutheran in Salmon Arm – Rev. Erik Bjorgan. Keep all the baptized on righteous paths in response to Christ’s call.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great

.

God of roaring seas, in a world of earthquake, famine, and plague, use your mighty power to nurture the land and all that lives upon it. Restore peoples and places experiencing natural disasters. Strengthen organizations who provide aid to any in crisis.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

God of victory, among quests for power, guide those in government, courts, law enforcement agencies, and the military. Turn them from war and violence to actions of care that build up the common good.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

God of healing, where injustice and exploitation result in populations that are marginalized or underserved, accompany those abandoned by friends, hurt by family, and harmed by violence or oppression. Care for all who are ill, anxious, or in pain of any kind

 Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

God of new songs, in a congregation of faithful believers, energize us for compassionate service and delight us through worship and inspired prayer. Encourage your people in building equitable community where all are valued.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

Almighty, we lift up our new pastor to You. Strengthen him for the journey ahead and encourage him in moments of doubt or challenge. Surround him with Your peace and joy, and let him feel the love and support of this congregation. May his words inspire, his actions reflect Your light, and his leadership bring us closer to You. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

God of every generation, we remember the saints with steadfast love and faithfulness. Confident in Christ’s victory over death, may we be inspired by the example of the faithful.

Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

​

We offer these and all our prayers to you, O God, trusting in your grace and unyielding love; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
