Prayers of the Church
Merciful Lord, hear the prayers of Your people and grant to us grace sufficient for our needs and all those for whom we pray. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our God and King, as once Your people received You in joy, open our hearts to rejoice in Your coming so that we may meet You in Your Word and Sacrament, for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith. Help us to declare Your salvation, proclaiming that You are merciful and gracious and abounding in steadfast love. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our merciful God and Lord, You are good to all Your creation. Continue to bless Your Church and to provide for her faithful pastors who preach Your Word and church workers who serve us in Your name. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our Creator and Lord, from You all things come and to You are all things directed. Provide for our nation faithful leaders who protect and defend the citizens, preserve the precious gift of liberty, and inspire us to use our freedom honorably. Make us mindful of the heritage our forebears have given to this land, and guide us to be faithful in our stewardship of all the resources You have provided. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our wise and giving God, You are the God of truth and in You is no falsehood or deception. Help us to delight in Your Law, to love what is good and true and right, and to seek after these things. Help us to wage war against the old Adam within us, restore us when we stray from Your Word, and forgive us when we give into the devil’s temptations. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our compassionate Lord, we do not suffer alone the pain and afflictions of this life, but we live them out within Your grace and are sustained by Your mercy. Hear us on behalf of the sick, those who suffer, the grieving and those to whom death is near. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our loving Father, You have hidden Your greatness from our wisdom and made Your ways known to children. Guide us to bring our children to the waters of Baptism, to raise them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and to know perfect rest and peace within Your loving arms.
Our gentle God and Lord, You have invited us to come to You with the heavy burdens of this life, that we may find rest and peace in You. Lord, in Your mercy,
Our heavenly Father and gracious God, as we come to the table Your Son has set, grant to us faith and repentance so that we may receive with joy and thanksgiving His flesh in this bread and His blood in this cup. Grant us Your Holy Spirit, that what we have received with our lips we may keep in holiness of life. Lord, in Your mercy,
All these things, blessed Lord, we pray You to grant us according to Your merciful goodness and for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
