Prayer List

Holy God,

Guide us by your Spirit and by your Light.
Make us remember
the Power of the Spirit within us.

Make us remember the gifts of our minds, our hearts, and our bodies that you have bestowed on us,
that we would use them to honor the directives and the invitations you lay upon us.

We know that our ways are not your ways.
And we thank you for this.
Help us trust your ways over our ways.

Remind us of your faithfulness as you forgive us our short memory.
In your immeasurable love, grace, mercy, and wisdom,
do not abandon us
regardless of how often we lose our way.
Place your wounded hands upon our broken hearts and turn us toward you.
Amen.

Prayer Request and Privacy Laws

Please note, that because of government privacy laws, hospitals and care centers no longer are allowed to notify churches that a person has been admitted (even if the person lists their home church at admission). The only way that the church staff will know if someone is hospitalized is if a family member or friend lets us know. We'd rather get 20 calls about the same person than none! Thanks for your help in making Westminster a caring community. Contact the Westminster Office by phone 330-263-2398 or email to notify the church if you or someone you know is hospitalized or otherwise in need of our prayers!
