For the Health of our community gathered here today. For those of us who are ill or recovering from

illness, and for those in pain, send your loving comfort and healing, and by your great grace let us keep

the body as a temple of your Holy Spirit.

Grant this O Lord

For those in this community stressed or with strife. Where we feel burdened let your spirit lighten us;

Where we have tears let you spirit bring joy and laughter; where we have fear let your spirit grant us the

courage to act, where we have panic let your spirit deliver us patience to endure. Let us always dwell in

your spirit of faith, hope and love to know your peace and joy.

Grant this O Lord

Forgive us our offenses. Where we have anger in thought, word, or deed towards our friends, neighbors,

family, or enemies send your Spirit that we might have mercy, charity and see the face of your son Jesus

in all we meet.

Grant this O Lord

Give us our daily bread. That those in this community as we worry about work and school, money and

debt, food and shelter, that our needs are provided for, and teach us to trust in your bounty and that

whatever storms may come to us, that the house built on the rock of your holy Word will remain.

Grant this O Lord

For those those in this community that care for children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents, our

families growing young and old. That you might send your angels to guard and to guide our families and

by your grace grant respite to all weary caregivers.

Grant this O Lord

For this community, this church, this city, and every city and for all faithful living in them, that your

church and the whole communion of all saints may be salt and light to the world, and that the world will

see peaceful times, favorable weather, abundant harvests, safe travel, freedom from captivity, and the

wellspring of your good tidings.

Grant this O Lord

For to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit is due all glory, honor and worship. Glory to you for all things,

now and forever.

Amen
