Here are the Prayers Of The People 

from Mayfair Heights Worship – April 27, 2025.

Prayers Of The People 

We pray for peace. 

Peace for ourselves, peace between nations.

Peace in the midst of struggle, peace in the midst of strong emotions.

Peace.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

We pray for all communities of faith this morning, 

That in our meetings, in our discernments, 

We will find new ways to respond to those in need. 

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

We pray for all in leadership of our governments, 

that they may always seek, always work for, stability, equality, mercy.

We pray for all who are losing jobs, who are not sure where to turn.

We pray for all who are fearful for their own welfare in these moments.  

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

We pray for all whose self-interests cloud their judgements and actions,

We pray for all who work to preserve this creation,

To make choices that look forward to the future.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

Lead us in ways of peace, even when we are reluctant.

Lead us in ways of grace, even when we don’t feel graceful.

Lead us in serving, even when we are not quite sure what to do.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. Amen.

Peace Be With You. – Paul
