following you.

We pray for your grace, that we may continually be
given to good works.
Precious Lord, we love your creation — the mountains and seas, the

leap among them. Help us to care for the miracle earth.

works.
Precious Lord, we seek your grace in time of need, as we struggle with
suffering of mind, body, and spirit. Be with those who have recently
passed and their families. Be with those injured, sick, uncertain and
despairing. Be with our loved ones who we now name silently and aloud
(pause), including those on our parish prayer list:
We pray for your grace, that we may continually be given to good
works.
Presider: We have faith, Lord, that you hear our heartfelt prayers. We ask
you to bend in compassion and mercy to those in need, and to the whole
of the world. Amen.
