Dear UMC in Wayne,
Please lift up in prayer:
A prayer of healing for Heather as she faces more challenges from cancer.
A prayer for Aunt Pat who is hospitalized with a UTI and Sepsis.
A prayer for Amy who gave birth to her daughter on Sunday and is now stable after an emergency C section where the Dr. accidentally cut her intestine.
A prayer for the Caribbean Islands as they endure hurricane Melissa.
People of God, as we come to prayer let us remember that we do not have to twist the arm of a reluctant God to seek good things for this world, nor find ways to persuade a distant God to come near and listen to us. Let us remember that as we pray we kneel alongside Jesus Christ, in the presence of God, with the help of the Spirit. So let us bring to mind now those people who are in need of our prayers: those who are ill, or anxious; those who are lonely or sad; those who are despairing or defeated; those who are hungry or homeless; those whose relationships are breaking apart; those who are bullied or abused; those who cannot find work; and those who are over-worked. In silence now, let us make our own specific prayers for those on our hearts and minds today.
*(silence)*
In the presence of God, alongside Jesus Christ, with help from the Spirit may we go into this week to live out our prayers through our lives. Amen.
