Prayers Of The People

Gracious God, 

you invite us deeper into your world, 

To be closer to all your people.

May we seek you in those we often ignore. 

God of love, Hear our prayer. 

During this Lenten season, let us focus on freedom and generosity, 

Let our hearts desire to serve you

And to serve those who need what we have to give.

God of love, Hear our prayer. 

This day, may we learn the holiness of

Food for the hungry,

Rest for the weary in soul and in body,

A place to be safe and warm.

God of love, Hear our prayer. 

Let us tune our hearts to sing your grace,

Our lives to express your love, 

And our actions to reflect your mercy,

God of love, Hear our prayer.

For all currently dwelling in pain and in hurt,

Let your love and our love be in their midst.

May we always be present in body or mind 

So that others are strengthened.

God of love, Hear our prayer. 

In the presence of beloved community, may your mercy be our way of life,

Your forgiveness the guide for our living with others,

Today, this week, this Lent, let us serve you.

God of love, Hear our prayer. 

Speak to us in times of turmoil and in times of peace,

Help us to be peace in times of upheaval,

Let us serve you in all we do and say,

God of love, Hear our prayer.  Amen. 

Peace Be With You. – Paul
