Prayers of the People October 20, 2019

By St. John's Lutheran Church

Knowing the one in whom we trust, and with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us, we offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all in need.

A brief silence.

A: Faithful partner, you will not leave us without a blessing. Wrestle with your church and renew it for the sake of the world. Preserve our life in you, so that we faithfully name you before the world. Lord, in your mercy,

C: Hear our prayer.

A: Grant us joy in these autumn days. As the daylight shortens and summer’s green abundance decays, scatter the seeds that will bring forth new life in the spring. Keep watch over your whole creation. God, in your mercy,

C: Hear our prayer.

A: Mercifully extend your ancient promises to all people. Keep and defend the nations from all evil, and be their shade and protection. Held in your steadfast love, guide the human family in ways of mercy and justice. Lord, in your mercy,

C: Hear our prayer.

A: Our help comes from you, maker of heaven and earth. Hear the cries of those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit. We pray for: Julie Ellingson, Sheri Finstad, Sherley Foti, Jim Halvorson, Olivia Lake, Kingston McFarland, Hal Norman, Ruth O’Connor, Jim Person, Carol Romanowitz, Alice Rostad, Irene Swann, Nanci Treichelt, Mary Turner, Michael Valenta, Harry & Diane Wulf and families and friends who mourn. Help us not to lose heart, so that your healing love prevails in our lives. God, in your mercy,

C: Hear our prayer.

Here other intercessions may be offered.

P: Trusting and delighting in you, we commend all our lives into your loving hands. We offer these prayers in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Amen.
