Prayer s of intercession
Lord, the disciples gathered to wait just as you
instructed; their constant prayers rising to you in Glory.
We cannot physically see you, but our hearts are yours
and, as we await your return, we constantly lift our
hearts to you in prayer.
We pray for our government, that truth will be upheld
and promises kept. Lord, guide all in power with your
wisdom. May the voices of those who follow you be
heard in the corridors of power. And your light of
wisdom shine in the darkest recesses.
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
There is much unrest, our world a battlefield of light
and darkness. Wars and conflicts are tearing it apart.
We pray for Ukraine as they gather more arms with
which to defend themselves against Russia. We pray for
Iran, Israel, Lebanon and Sudan. And all involved in the
ravages of war and conflict.
Lord, we pray for our communities and especially
our local community in Sittingbourne. Bring families
together. Refresh the weary. Bless the despondent with
renewed hope. Look down upon us with your love
and compassion.
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
You told your disciples they would be witnesses to the
ends of the earth. We pray for all who venture into the
mission field. We pray for all leaders and teachers of
your Word, wherever they share the gospel. We pray for
churches everywhere. May they be beacons of truth and
wisdom, shining a light into the darkness of bewildering
confusion. We are not all called to be evangelists but
each person following you can shine your light. Unite
us and help us, your church, to live a life of witness.
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
Loving God, we pray for all those who are sick or
bereaved, in the silence we pray for those known
especially to us…
Lord, we need you.
Our world needs you, Lord.
May we live in unity as we await your return. Gone but
not forgotten. Lord, we rejoice in you. We wait. We pray.
Thank you for hearing our prayers Lord in Jesus name.
Amen.
