Most Holy God, many of us have exhausted our energies dealing with so many challenges in our lives and the seemingly ongoing crises. Help us to confess our weaknesses and turn to you for guidance and strength in the coming days. We ask this for ourselves and all for whom we now pray. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for our church family. Help us to stand firmly in our Baptismal vows. Keep us close in fellowship and to one another. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless the Nonnemakers at Virginia Theological Seminary. We pray in faith for the health and well-being of every member of our parish family. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
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. Pray for Jamie Davey, Jordan Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp, and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard, and protect all law enforcement and first responders, including Don Scalia. Please cover all health care workers with your blessings of protection and strength as they work to save lives, including Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, Susan Smith, and Candler Kimsey. They need our prayers, thanks, and love in facing the uncertainty of this continuing pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for health and healing for all creation. Keep us steadfast in prayer and obedient to admonitions to protect lives through diligent actions. We pray for them and for the sick, the lonely, and their caregivers. Let them experience health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for Carol, Helen, Kelly, Bob, Lloyd, Stephen, Gil, Jennifer, Kevin, Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Sharon, Billy, Genny, Gordon, Opal, Diane, Chris, Charlene, David, Scott, Genie, Dennis, Sue, and Chrissy. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for Hannah Kidd Kogel as she awaits the birth of her child. We pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. In this time, shield all children with safety, love, and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
Comfort all who mourn for loved ones lost to sickness, accidents, and injustice. As we recognize our own fragility, help us to realize and celebrate the sacredness of every life, including Helen Greear. Pray for all who mourn. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
This week help us to keep all students and their parents, teachers, school administrators, and educational support persons in our prayers. Bless our preschool, teachers, families, and staff. Help us to support all methods of teaching and learning with affirming words of life and help. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Bill McNulty, Joe Cash, and Clay Bolton, and those celebrating anniversaries, including Chris & Mary Geidel and Geoff & Sue Gstalder. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
