Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, and for all people according to their needs.
Lord, give us the heart of Jeremiah. May our hearts burn within us; give your church a prophetic voice. We commit to you our cause: proclaim your name in word and song and praise, so that the whole earth may know that you have delivered us, and so that we may live in you with utmost trust. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
You are our refuge and strength, a hiding place from the assaults of evil. We place our trust in you to cover us with your mercy, to cover us with your forgiveness and everlasting life, to cover us with mercy, to cover and clothe us in your own righteousness—that we may stand in you, our eternal dwelling. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Make us obedient, Lord—at least obedient enough to confess that we are incapable of being fully obedient. Make us slaves of righteousness who readily admit our sin and flee to you for the only righteousness that saves and also quiets troubled hearts. Be with those who are sick and grieving; quiet their hearts with your gospel promise, and help them, Holy Spirit, to trust and abide in you. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Remove our fears, Lord, that we may proclaim your word from the housetops of our lives. Give us to know how much you love us, enough to send your Son to save us. Give this assurance to our VBS kids. Give them faith, Lord, that endures to the end that they may be saved. 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
