Your name and your praise,
O God,

Thus says the Lord:

Does the woman forget her child at the breast
or fail to cherish her offspring?

Even if she forgets,
I will never forget you.

 

 

 

(adapted from Isaiah 49:13-15, focusing on verse 15)

God of Peace,

Your mercy is without limits.

And we would like all human beings
to experience it.

Send your spirit of love
to renew the face of the earth.

- Amen

I give you thanks, O Lord

for your kindness and your truth.

All of your promises
surpass your renown.

It’s been a while since I added a new line to The Prayers Of Our People, and today I’m introducing one for those who are called – each in their own way – to make our world better for all concerned.

 

For those who devote their energies

to restoring peace,
to helping those who suffer,
to building a more just world,

We pray to you, O God.
- Lord, hear our prayer.
