Intercessions
9th March 2025
As we begin this season of Lent let us find a quiet place to communicate with God.
Lord God, we come with all our muddled priorities and conflicting agendas to be made whole as the body of Christ; to renounce evil so as to be equipped to announce the Kingdom of peace.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Lord God, we come with the world’s clamour ringing in our ears ,where pain and injustice refuse to be shut out.
We come today to ask for the World’s healing and for the end of lying and deceit and with that, peace and understanding.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Lord God, we come to you with the demands of home, family, work and expectations warring in us for space and attention.
We come on behalf of those too busy or too exhausted to pray; that our daily lives may be washed in your peace, ordered in holiness and lit up with your joy.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Lord God, we come to you with the needs and sorrows, pain and suffering of our brothers & sisters all over the world. Those who are aching physically, emotionally or spiritually. We come today to ask for your comfort and healing love, especially for those on our Church prayer list and those only known personally to each of us.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Lord God, we come before you today to realign our lives in the context of your eternity ,and to commend to your love our loved ones who have passed through earthly death to the life which has no ending. Wrap your loving arms around all who mourn and are left alone and give them comfort.
Lord in Your mercy
Hear our prayer
Lord God, we come before you today with thankfulness for the gift of life and for the call in this time of Lent to draw nearer to you. Give us Grace to respond to your calling to be a holy people.
Merciful Father,
accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
