Dear Lord, God of heaven and earth, We give ourselves to your care, in prayer with complete faith in your compassion. Your eternal power and love are beyond our understanding. We pray in the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Bless those who pray to you around the world, for your wisdom and guidance in these turbulent times. We pray for all of your churches, and especially for Justin, Archbishop of Canterbury, Katharine, our presiding Bishop, Greg, our Bishop, Berto our priest, and for each of us as ministers of your church.

Lord, show us your will and your way.

We pray for world leaders to know and do Your will, with courage and strength in their decisions.

Lord, God of heaven and earth, we give ourselves to your care.

Lord, give us discomfort enough to make a difference in the life of someone who is struggling.

We all seek your peace Lord. Bless those on our parish prayer list and each of us in our unspoken needs.

Dear Mother Father God, keep us in the nurturing power of your love, with open hearts to give, and by giving, we receive the love we seek.
