To God who welcomes all in love, let us pray for the good of the church
and the concerns of those in need:
For the Church: that we may persistently seek greater holiness and never be satisfied with merely fulfilling the letter of the law: let us pray to the Lord.
For moral theologians and ethicists: that the Spirit will lead them to a deeper understanding of the wisdom of God so that they can share the values that will lead believers to live the Gospel more faithfully: let us pray to the Lord.
For the gift of courage: that God will strengthen us as we make difficult moral decisions and empower us to put the values of the teachings of Jesus into practice: let us pray to the Lord.
For fuller honesty: that God will help us to speak and act truthfully in every situation and activity in our lives: let us pray to the Lord.
For a spirit of reverence: that we may recognize our need for God, seek to serve God each day, and never use God to achieve our agenda: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who are struggling with moral decisions: that the Spirit of God will inspire them with wisdom, help them to recognize the greatest good in their options, and connect them with a supportive community: let us pray to the Lord.
For insight: that God will help us to recognize the attitudes and situations that draw us away from God, give us strength to face them, and guide us in redirecting our choices and actions: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who struggle with anger: that God will give them the strength to direct it in productive ways and not allow it to become violent or self-destructive: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who have suffered violence: that God will heal their painful memories and that the Spirit will free them to live life fully: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who have experienced divorce: that God will heal their pain, renew their self- worth, and help them to draw strength from the community of faith: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who experienced abuse: that God will heal their deepest self, guide them in living life each day, and protect them from further harm: let us pray to the Lord.
For the grace to let go of hurts and wounds: that God will free our minds and hearts from the pain of what others have done to us and help us forgive and pray for them: let us pray to the Lord.
For all who are recovering from disasters: that God will give them strength, renew their spirits, and help them find the resources that they need to rebuild their lives: let us pray to the Lord.
For healing: that God will heal the sick, give hope to those preparing for surgery, comfort the parents of sick children, and strengthen all who care for the sick: let us pray to the Lord.
For peace: that God will bring an end to violence in Ukraine, in workplaces, in our city streets, and within families and help all to find ways to resolve differences in life-giving ways: let us pray to the Lord.
God of every land and nation, you have created all people and you dwell among us in Jesus Christ. Listen to the cries of those who pray to you, and grant that, as we proclaim the greatness of your name, all people will know the power of love at work in the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
