Weekly Prayers of the People
Empowered by the news of Christ’s birth, let us pray boldly for the church, creation, and all who are in need.
​
Repairer of the breach, you separate us from our sin and unite us with one another. Heal the animosity in our hearts, and bind us together in love. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
Author of life, you sent your spirit over the waters, your breath into your children, and guiding stars across the sky. Awaken us to the plight of the planet and send us to care for your creation.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
Light that leads the way, you make yourself known to the nations. Illuminate just paths and guide leaders in the church and the world in your holy will. Within the BC Synod, we pray for Benediction Lutheran in Delta; King of Life Lutheran in Coquitlam – Rev. Dorothy Chu; Christ Lutheran in Kelowna – Rev. Barbara Groote; and Shared Ministries in BC Synod.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
Voice of the silenced, you cast the mighty from their thrones and fill the hungry with good things. Grant those in need the courage to demand equality and those with abundance the wisdom to share. Respond to any who call out in need this day.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great
.
Proclaimer of promises, you raise up prophets and messengers in the places we least expect. Equip us to listen well to those who bring both good news and painful truths.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
Redeemer of the saints, you gift us with many people throughout our lives who point the way to you. We give you thanks for the recently departed and all who have loved us.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
With the joy of Christ’s birth in our hearts, we commend our prayers to you, O God, trusting in your boundless mercy and eternal love; through Jesus Christ our Savior.
​
Amen.
