Sunday Prayer

As always, this prayer is cross-posted at my place.

Loving God, in these past weeks we have heard stories of your people responding to your call. We thank you for their faithfulness and the lasting inspiration found in their stories. Help us now, God, with our own story. As we come together for worship, we know that we share something special and meaningful. Guide us as we seek to bring the gospel into the world. Help us to turn our intent into faithful, transformed living.

Remind us often, O God, that each of us can make a difference. Each of us can speak a word of peace, justice and love. Set our hearts toward your purpose, and set our feet on the path you invite us to walk. Bless our journey, we pray, and send your Spirit to guide our steps.

As we go into this day, we pray especially for those in need of your grace and healing. We pray for all who are ill in body mind or spirit, for all recovering from surgery, for all who are hungry, for the grieving and the lonely, for those who feel pushed to the margins of our society, and for all who cry out for peace in our time.

Bless us all this day, God. Send us out from here ready to live the gospel we proclaim, for we do it in Jesus' name. Amen.
