Most Holy God, without your loving presence in our lives, we would feel truly abandoned as we walk the tightrope of confusion, fear, doubt and mistrust in these times. But you are near, and we can cast ourselves into your saving arms. Give us faith and courage to meet every challenge in the spirit of your caring will. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for our church family and for our parish. Although apart, we remain united in faith, hope, prayer and your love. Keep us faithful and confident in your mercy. We ask your continuing blessings on our presiding bishop Michael Curry, our bishop Robert Wright, our assisting bishop Don Wimberly, our retired bishop Neil Alexander, and our priests Scott and Sue. Bless the Nonnemakers at Virginia Theological Seminary. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for our president Donald, for the leaders of the nations, and for all in authority, that they may compassionately work for justice and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for all members of our armed services. Protect and defend our troops in deployments in combat zones. Pray for Jamie Davey, Jordan Davey, Brett Turner, Jennifer Parrish, Bart Ziccardi, Robert Rish, Kayla Ziccardi, Frank Caruccio, Joseph Lorenz, Wayne Lovell, Jessica Stephens, Mitchell Stephens, Brandon Richards, Drew Camp and Jason Gregoryk. Guide, guard and protect all law enforcement and first responders, including Don Scalia. Please cover all health care workers with your blessings of protection and strength as they work to save lives, including Dr. William Koeppel, Marika Csatary, JM Kidd, Chloe Gedney, Jackie Hayes, Dr. Barbara Camp, Roxanne Hall, Susie Murray, Susan Smith and Candler Kimsey. Let our prayers, thanks and love give them encouragement as they face the dangers and the uncertainty of this pandemic. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
The beauty of your creation reminds us to be good caretakers of what your trust includes. Even as we admire the colors of the season, may we consider the beauty in the diversity of every person made “good” in your eyes. Help us lovingly tend to our neighbors' needs, be they near or far. We include victims of the West Coast fires and a hurricane season of unprecedented fury along our coasts. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
This Coronavirus disease that has taken over 210,000 lives, in America alone, deserves our wise attention to public health and safety. Love compels us to respect the health of all the people we might encounter. We pray for them and for the sick, the lonely and their caregivers. Let them experience health and wholeness in your healing presence. Pray for those with immediate needs, including Diane Colleti, Sherry McCollum and Dennis Wydra. Pray for those with long-term needs, including Carol Prescott, Helen Schlaefflin, Kelly Smith, Lloyd Mills, Gil Pollit, Jennifer Smith, Kevin LaForce, Dennis Bergin, David Wilkins, Ron Phillips and Chrissy Greer. Pray for family & friends of our parish, including Jackie, Kelli, Luci, Billy, Gordon Weatherby, Opal, Scott Casavant, Emily, Sheila. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We pray for Hannah Kidd Kogel as she awaits the birth of her child. We pray for newborns, infants, and children of all ages. Protect them from every danger and sickness. Restore all children separated from their families. In this time, shield all children with safety, love and peace. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
We are joyful and thankful for these among us celebrating birthdays, including Cameron Kimsey, Diane Coletti, Steve Wydra, Lori Kimsey,= and Charlie Steele, and those celebrating anniversaries, including Terry & Louis Savoy. Bless their accomplishments and their plans. Give them joy as they celebrate these landmarks in their lives. Holy Lord, hear our prayer.
