PRAYERS FOR OUR WORLD

To The Beloved Community of God



"God is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1


As we render thanks unto the Lord for his tender mercies throughout the past week.
Let us render thanks to the Lord for right now.
Let us render prayers of intercession for those whom are outcast, forgotten, down trodden, oppressed, sick, lonely, overwhelmed, and those at impasses in their lives.
Let us pray for those who are unable to speak with their own voices due to their plight in life.
Let us pray for the wisdom, knowledge, and courage to advocate for those who are unable to do so for themselves.
Let us pray for those who are homeless, hungry, and incarcerated, locally, nationally, and world-wide.
Let us pray for those who are victims of national and international abduction and exploitation.
Let us pray for those who are entrusted to take the voices of the masses to officials who can affect change and have an impact on the lives of others.
Let us pray for those whose comforts in life have removed them from the presence of suffering in our world.
Let us pray for those who mourn.
Let us pray for those who suffer.
Let us pray for those who are companioned by grief.
Let us pray for the pulling down of destructive strong holds in our churches, schools, communities, and our nation.
Let us pray for those who refer to our brothers and sisters as "those people" because they look different, act differently, speak differently, pray differently, and grieve differently.
Let us pray for those whose hurts have caused them to fear LOVE.
Let us pray for victims of domestic and institutionalized abuse.
Let us pray for those who have hurt others.
Let us pray for those in our faith communities whose doctrines move them to express love of God on one hand, yet despise their brothers and sisters on the other hand.
Let us pray for those who desire a faith of convenience and comfort.
These prayers we lift up to thee O' God in Jesus' name our Savior, Lord, Strength and Redeemer!

I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.
Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?

Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog
like this one these days.
