Beloved of All
"Almighty God, as we have made our way to Your throne of grace, so shall we now stand before you, our God. Dear God, we stand and we wait, and we hope, and we long for you to act. We stand before you with fear and doubt, with concern, with hope, with disbelief, with despair. But in this time, and in this place, we nevertheless have resolved to STAND. Lord we pray this day for leaders, for all entrusted with decisions that affect others. For those with the power to change the world for better or worse, we pray that the hope of new life will reach into the corridors of power. We pray for those who may be trapped in cycles of poverty, hunger and suffering. Lord allow the hope of new life to reach into the forgotten agonies of those without hope; for those whose future promises no life, and whose past gives little reason for hope. Lord GOD, we pray for those concerned about their health today, about their mortality, consumed with the pressures of body and mind. May the promise of new life reach deep into the lives of those who live in fear. As your people, we stand before you, the sum total of all the hopes and all the fears of all the descendants of Adam, and we wait, and we hope, and we long for you to act. In the matchless name of Jesus the Christ, we do pray and declare it all. Amen."
Yes Lord, we pray, Amen
Yes Lord, we hope, Amen
Yes Lord, we pray, Amen
Yes Lord, we hope, Amen
