Second Sunday in Lent
Order of Worship
Prayers of the Church
Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
Help us, O Lord, to not be like the ancient people of Jerusalem, unwilling to hear you and your prophetic word. Give us spiritual ears that we may hear as faithful people, obeying your will and keeping your Word. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You hear us, Father, when we cry out to you. Indeed, you listen for our call, eager to answer our prayers, lifting up the light of your countenance upon us. Put your gladness in our hears that we may we may sleep in safety and in peace. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Give us courage, Lord Jesus, to walk as those who are friends of your cross. Knowing that our citizenship is in heaven, help us to bear up under suffering. This we ask also for those we name before you now, in our hearts and on our lips, believing that you will touch their whole persons while transforming the bodies of their humble state into conformity with the body of your glory. … Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You have brought us, Lord God, back from exile in the land of sin and death. Lead us out of temptation and into life in your Spirit, that we may be well prepared to enter that promised land of heaven. Strengthen our resolve to live earthly lives of hope, and thanksgiving to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the glorious inheritance of the saints in light. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy—through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
