Prayers of the People

Lord Jesus, if we have died with you, we will live with you;
if we endure, we will reign with you; we pray to you for all the needs and
concerns on our minds and hearts, knowing that you always remain faithful.

Lord, we pray for the church, that we might do our best to
present ourselves to God as one approved by him. (We pray especially for… church
leaders… and all the people of God.)

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

O God, in your might you rule forever, and your eyes keep watch over the
nations. We pray for our nation, our community, and all in authority.

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

Gracious God, all the earth bows down before you, and sings out your name. We
pray for the nations of the earth, that your peace may protect us all.

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

Lord Jesus, as you healed the ten lepers between Galilee and Samaria, we pray that you would heal those
who suffer in body, mind, or spirit, especially ________.

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

You hold our souls in life, O God, and you will not allow our feet to slip. We
pray for those we love (and we especially remember today those who celebrate
their birthdays… anniversaries…).  Give them your grace.

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

O God, we remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David; and
we remember before you those who have died, (especially…) that they may rest with
Christ in eternal glory.

Jesus, Master,

Have mercy on us.

Lord Jesus, in your faithfulness to us, you shower us with grace,
mercy, love, and all we need; we pray that you would shape our hearts that they
would be filled with gratitude, that we might always return to you and give you
thanks. Amen.
