THE PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL
September 4, 2011

Seeking the renewal of the Holy Spirit in our communities and in our world, we pray for the church, those in need, and all of God's creation. 

Holy and life-giving God, unite your people in a life of righteousness and loving-kindness. Form us as your witnesses, so that when people seek compassion, they may find it in Christ-centered community. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. 

Bless the labours of farmers, herders, packagers, and all who work for the harvest and distribution of food. Make them a strong link between your abundant creation and all hungry people. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. 

Guide the work of all elected officials. Create and encourage accountability in governments. Use these servants of the people to uphold justice in our world. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. 

Make the presence of Christ known among those who are ill, grieving, and broken-hearted. Bring your gifts of healing and wholeness to all who are sick and suffering.Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. 

Grant a spirit of thankfulness to all whose daily needs are met. Give hope to those who are unemployed or underemployed. Bind us together in service to one another. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

As we recall the lives of the saints who have revealed Christ to us, open our eyes to see his face in those gathered with us. Strengthen our faith in his ongoing work of redemption. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. 

Into your hands, holy God, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your abundant mercy; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
