May peacemaker, aid-workers, healers, and prophets be strengthened in their ministries…

Just as Mark was brave in continuing to follow you after set backs…

Just as Mark was brave in continuing to follow you after set backs…

Alleluia! Thank you, Jesus…

Jesus, humble King riding on a donkey…

…may your presence guide the peace talks taking place, and may it guide the international response…

…in the ministry which you have given us we may be instruments of your love…

…help us to be agents of radical hospitality…

Bless the poor in spirit, bless those who mourn…

You have made us stewards of the earth and guardians one of one another…

…help us find practices that bring life and deepen faith…

Lord, we take you at your word and pray for those who might be perceived as enemies…

Help us Lord, to listen openly, to discern wisely, and to share peaceably…

Help us to be people of unity and justice…

…we pray for your protection and your peace…

Lord, you lead us in every stage of our lives…

In this season of excess, may we find you in stillness and simplicity…

Lord, saturate us with your joy. Let it radiate from us. May joy be our default…

Lord, amidst the hustle and bustle of end-of-year functions and Christmas shopping, help us to be still and remember this season’s primary call…

With the Covid-19 Protection Framework soon to begin we pray for all those wrestling with complex decisions…
