Prayers of the People—Proper 14A
Sisters and brothers, the word of faith that we proclaim is near you, on your lips and in your heart! So let us pray to God saying, “Be generous to all who call on you; Lord, save us.”
Lord God, capture our hearts. May your Holy Spirit prepare a way upon which the beautiful feet of your servants can bring good news to all those who are wearied by too much bad news.
Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
Lord of All, your love makes no distinction between peoples or nations. We pray that wars and violence cease. May your reign of peace and justice come quickly.
Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
Holy God, your Son walked on the water even as your Spirit moved over the face of the waters in creation. May we learn to respect the beauty and mystery, the power and goodness of all you have made.
Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
Strong God, give us wisdom, like your servant Joseph, that this congregation may be a symbol of hope and integrity to the leaders of our city.
Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
Lord Christ, you bid your people be not afraid. You have promised that all who call on your name shall be saved. And so make your deeds known among the people—especially those in trouble, sickness and pain.
Allow the congregation to add their petitions and thanksgivings, followed by Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
God of our Ancestors, by your strength you rescue life even from the depths of the pit. You raised your Son from the grips of death and through him have promised to give new life to all who have died. May the dead rest in peace, even as they await the day of resurrection.
Silence
Be generous to all who call on you.
Lord, save us.
