Here are the Prayers Of The People from Sunday, November 30 – The First Sunday of Advent.

Prayers Of The People

Gracious God, Creator of all that is, we pray with waiting hearts.

We pray:

For all who struggle during this season,

For all whose families are not people of grace and love,

For all who continue to love even the unlovable,

God, in your love, 

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all whose hearts are heavy with grief,

For all who watch their loved ones struggle with disease or injury,

For all experiencing pain in body, mind, or spirit,

For all who wait, who love, who hope for recovery,

God, in your love, 

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all whose lives are chaos at this moment,

For all who seek to move into more peaceful places,

For all who encourage and support,

For all who pave the way for recovery,

God, in your love, 

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all who are tired of their circumstances,

For all who are planning their new lives within the pain of the current ones,

For all who yearn for better lives for themselves and their family,

For all who make those better lives happen for others and for themselves,

God, in your love, 

Hear our prayers.

We pray:

For all who are hopeful, who are loving, who are full of grace,

For all who seek, who work for a brighter world,

For all who advocate for those in need,

For all who are affirming and nonjudgmental,

For all who work for peace, love, joy, 

God, in your love, 

Hear our prayers.  Amen.

Peace Be With You. – Paul
