Election Prayer – 5

November 1, 2026

You warned us Lord against factions, anger, rivalries, dissensions, and divisions, but we did not listen. (Galatians 5:20).

Forgive us Lord and help us forge a new path.

Help us to conquer our fears and extinguish our hates, to look up and move beyond our endless scrolling so that we might see and greet and meet our neighbors.

Help us to build new bonds forged out of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Raise up for us leaders of wisdom and courage, integrity and foresight, compassion and commitment to our common good.

May we become a people of peace and hope.

Amen

In Need of Grace

January 17, 2021

We are a broken and grieving people O Lord.

Broken relationships, broken promises, broken bodies, broken lives.

We are broken Lord, although not beyond repair.

Please let your grace shine through and in our broken places.

Help us to repent O Lord, and to walk in your ways.

Give us wisdom, give us courage, give us humility, give us integrity, give us compassion, give us mercy, give us love.

Help us to discern fact from folly, and turn us from false gods.

Heal us O Lord, and give us hope.

Amen
