Weekly Prayers of the People
Reconciled by God’s mercy and sustained by God’s presence, let us pray for the world and its needs.
​
God, our shepherd, we pray that you guide the church. Lead Christians in our community and those across the globe in right paths for your name’s sake. Within the BC Synod we pray for Living Faith Lutheran in Sechelt – Rev. Richard Hergesheimer (Interim); and Lord of Life Mission in Sandspit – Rev. Jim Whaley (Interim).
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
God our provider, we cry out for this planet and the life it holds. Rescue endangered animals and plants, preserve threatened ecosystems, and save creatures from natural disasters. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
God our sovereign, we plead for your peace on earth. Bring an end to war and violence, and raise up leaders in governments, courts, businesses, schools, and community organizations who seek goodness and mercy.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
God our healer, we call to you in our need. Uplift all who are made to feel unimportant, and transform the hearts of all infected by bigotry and prejudice. Care for all in special need this day.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
God our friend, we praise you for the diversity of people among us. Awaken us to share and receive the gifts we each possess, and stir up a spirit of understanding, celebration, and welcome for all.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
Show your mercy to any in need, especially the community of Tumbler Ridge and lift up all whose lives have been so deeply affected by this devastating loss. God our home, we thank you for all who have died and completed their baptismal journeys. Grant us faith to live until we too dwell in your house forever.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.
​
Receive our prayers, O God, through Jesus Christ, our strength and salvation.
Amen.
