Prayer for today - March 26th

Walk with me, I will walk with you
and build the land that God has planned
where love shines through. (John S. Rice)

Holy One, today we rejoice at the breadth and depth of your Grace and Love,
we celebrate the living out of the promises of inclusion and welcome,
we give thanks for the diversity of the Kingdom that embraces one and all ...

Hear our prayers for those willing to reach out and welcome in all your children.

Hear our prayers for those struggling with issues of health and wellness.

Hear our prayers for those struggling with issues of family and friends.

Hear our prayers for those who are lonely and frightened.

Hear our prayers for those facing uncertainty and violence.

Hear our prayers for those yearning to be free.

Hear our prayers for those fighting for justice and equality.

Hear our prayers for those who are battered, bloodied and beaten, but not defeated.

Hear our prayers for those who stand up for their faith, and willingly face the consequences without hesitation or fear.

Hear our prayers for those glimmering corners of creation where the land you have planned that abounds and overflows with love is emerging.

Hear our prayers for those children of God who live their faith, share their joy, and dare to dance in the light of love you alone offer ... Loving and Holy God, hear our prayers today and always as we seek to create in our lives, our congregations, our communities and our world, the Kingdom you have promised, and that you help bring into being ... be with us as we journey towards it, as we embody it, and as we work in faith to create it ... In your loving name we pray.

L'chaim !!
