Prayers Of The People

Gracious God, Creator of all that is, we lift our prayers to you.

We pray:

For peace among nations, and an end to violence,

For the end to struggles which tear our souls and quench the fire of our spirit,

For the end to our inhumane treatment of each other,

Whether in other lands or in our own,

God, in your love,

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For those who respond in times of crisis,

For those whose training and concern defuses difficult times,

For all who bring peaceful presence to moments of pain,

God, in your love,

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all who journey out of one land and into another,

For all who work with those moving from violence into safety,

For all who treat others with great care and great love,

God, in your love,

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all who do not feel loved within their own families,

For all who seek to make others comfortable and welcome,

For all who have restless hearts and minds,

For all who yearn for better times and circumstances,

For all who help better times happen,

God, in your love,

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all governing leaders, that they may make wise and helpful decisions,

For all who implement policies of love and compassion,

For all persons of faith, that we may respect and love one another in our differences,

For all who seek to live in gratitude and in peace,

God, in your love,

Hear our prayers.  Amen.
