Prayer for Easter 6B

Lord,
Loving God,
We come before you humbly thanking you for your love,
We pray for those in this world who don’t know your love,
who have not experienced your love,
who are in loveless relationships,
loveless families,
loveless jobs,
and loveless lives.

We thank you for your joy,
we also pray for those who live joyless lives,
whose joy has been taken from them,
and who long for a just a little bit of joy in their lives.

We thank you for your friendship,
we pray for those who lost their friends
or are in need of a friend,
or who don’t know how to be friendly.

Lord you put your song in our lives of love,
joy and friendship
may we sing that song to those in this world
who have forgotten the song and how to sing it.
Lord may your song fill all our lives,
all our communities,
all our churches,
and our entire world
so that the entire universe resounds with your song. Amen
