Intercessions
26th November 2023
Let us humble ourselves the presence of God and pray to him for the Church and for the world.
Loving God, we thank you for your guidance in giving our Church here in Almancil the name of Christ the King. We rejoice as we come before you to celebrate your wonderful festival. Help us in all our ministry in this Church, both clergy and laity, on Sundays, and weekdays to give glory to you and further your kingdom.
Direct us to those who are searching and give us the wisdom to know how best to draw them to your love.
We ask your special blessing today on the The Anglican Church of Nigeria.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Loving God may we actively seek to do good, to stand up against injustice and work for peace in the world. Lord rid this world of the terrible evils, that result from unvoiced objections and unspoken misgivings. Give us courage to act as true citizens of heaven.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Loving God, may the way we manage our homes, decisions, time and money be in keeping with our calling as inheritors of the kingdom. May your love fortify us we reach out to others.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Loving God, search for the lost, bring back those who have strayed, bind up the sick and injured and strengthen the weak. Help us all in this work of loving care.
We especially bring before you all those known to us and those on our church prayer list.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Loving God welcome into your kingdom all whose lives show them to be your servants, whether or not they have known you by name. Prepare us all to meet you with the confidence of sins confessed and forgiven.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Loving God, you have shown us such love and humility, we offer you our thanks and praise.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Merciful Father,
accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
