Weekly PrayersAugust 28 – September 3
Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. Make us always remember your generosity and constantly do your will. Bless our land with honesty in the workplace, truth in education, and honor in daily life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance; and from every evil course of action. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen September 4 – September 10 Make us worthy, Lord, to serve our fellow human beings throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands this day their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give peace and joy. Amen September 11 – September 17 Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow our love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness light; where there is sadness; joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. September 18 – September 24 Almighty and merciful God, you are the only source of health and healing; you alone can bring calmness and peace. Grant to us, your children, an awareness of your presence and a strong confidence in you. In our pain , our weariness, and our anxiety, surround us with your care, protect us by your loving might, and permit us once more to enjoy health and strength and pace through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. September 25 – October 1 Lord Christ, you came into the world as one of us, and suffered as we do. As we go through the trials of life, help us to realize that you are with us at all times and in all things; that we have no secrets from you; and that your loving grace enfolds us for eternity. In the security of your embrace we pray. Amen Prayers are from the Pew Edition of the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal. Copyright 2006 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
