Prayers of the People
By: Patti Petit
March 29, 2020
Most Holy God, today we are once again thankful for the technology that allows us to meet together in this special way. Your wisdom is greater than our capacity to grasp and your saving love is more than wonderful. Give us your wisdom and guidance as we pray today. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for the whole church in every land. Continue to bless our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless Brandon, Mallory, Fletcher and Finley as they prepare to move to Virginia Theological Seminary. Keep every member of our parish family and all of our sisters and brothers and sisters in health, peace, and growing in wisdom and grace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Almighty God, we pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for all members of our armed services, protect and defend our troops in deployments in combat zones. Keep their families well, and give them peace of mind and spirit in these difficult times. Pray for Reyna Cruz, Jamie Davey, Ron Penninger, Owen Broom, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Stephen Hill, Kayla Ziccardi, Bart Ziccardi, Nathanial Curry, Robert Rish, Frank Carruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Teale Marchette and Brandon Richards. Guide, guard and protect all law enforcement, first responders and especially all medical personnel. Pray for Don Scalia and Dr. Barbara Camp. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Lord, God our healer, we pray for medical and health providers and all who are involved in the health and medical in profession. Grant us wisdom to prevent our falling into the trap of fear in this time of pandemic. And guide us in love to act wisely to prevent spread of any illness. We pray that the lonely, depressed and sick will find health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for Carol, Helen, Kelly, Bob, Lloyd, Denise, Michael, Stephen, Gil, Jennifer, Kevin, Bette, Kevin, Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Elizabeth, Jack, Sharon, Billy, Helen, Bruce, Genny, Dottie, Taylor, Jon, Opal, Glenda, Sean, Christina, Diane, John, Mel, and Chris. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Most holy God, we pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. Shield all children with safety, love and peace. And give all parents extra grace in these challenging times. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Compassionate God comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness and accidents. As we recognize our own fragility help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life. Pray for Ringo McCollum's sister, Bonnie Glover. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Compassionate God, this week help us to remember that all the recent restrictions in our daily lives are a small price to save lives. There is no distance in prayer, so we are never truly alone. Guide us to lift our eyes to the new life unfolding around us and to be thankful. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Gracious God, we are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays including Kevin Murray, Sarah Bell, Diane Wiggins, JM Kidd, and anniversaries including Joe & Brandi Cash. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
