 Prayers this week |
Trusting in the promise that God hears us, we pray for those in need and in thanksgiving for God's awesomeness-sometimes with sighs too deep for words and sometimes with an explosive "Yes!" to God's work in our midst. Please include the following in your prayers this week:
Pray for all who minister in difficult places, that God would be their guide and give them comfort as they in turn give guidance and comfort to others in Jesus' name.
- We remember those who continue to fight in Afghanistan as a part of Operation Enduring Freedom, especially those who are recovering from injuries sustained, and for those who have died: Christopher Drake, 20. We pray for comfort and peace for the families and friends of our military, who are separated from their loved ones. We pray for comfort for those who have lost loved ones and that the wounded may be healed.
- Pray for those who work for peace in all regions of strife. Pray that a path to peace in the war in Syria will be found through diplomacy rather than continued violence and deaths.
- Pray for the people of Moore, Oklahoma, as they continue to figure out what it is to live after the tornado that destroyed their community. Pray for those who lost loved ones in the wake of the tornado. Pray for all those who are working together to bring new creation out of the chaos.
- Pray for those suffering from last week's flooding in San Antonio and wildfires in southern California and with thanksgiving to those rescue workers and firefighters who put themselves in harm's way for others.
- Pray for Bob and Miriam who will be joined as husband and wife on Saturday; pray for God's rich blessings on both their families in this time of great rejoicing. Pray that their love for each other and for their God will continue to grow and shine forth in their life together.
- Pray for healing, comfort, and strength for Scot, Juana, and Ray whose cancers progress.
- Pray for high school graduates as they celebrate the completion of this phase of their education and embrace new opportunities ahead.
- Pray for the delegates of the synods meeting in assembly this weekend: the Delaware-Maryland, Metropolitan New York, the Minneapolis Area, the North Carolina, the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin, the South Carolina, the Southeastern Iowa, the West Virginia-Western Maryland, the Greater Milwaukee and the Nebraska synods, and the delegates of the Metropolitan Chicago, the Northeastern Ohio, the Montana, the Southeastern, and the Southwest California synods as they meet in assembly to elect bishops. Pray for the Spirit's guidance in all their work for the church.
- Pray for the Chapel community as we continue to discern God's call to be people of God at work in the world.
