For the sake of those gathered here. We ask that you help us to clear our minds from the

clutter of our earthly life. Help us to hear and see clearly, the words and things you know

we need to. Bring us to a state of peace and understanding so that we may begin to more

closely resemble you. We ask you Holy Spirit,

Grant us your loving embrace

For the sake of the sick and needy. We ask that you ease all pain, comfort all distressed,

heal our seen and unseen wounds, shelter those weathering a storm and provide those

who have nothing with all they could ever need. Help us too, to bring all this and more to all

your people of the Earth. We ask you Lord of all,

Give us our daily bread

For the sake of those who are incarcerated or in prison. We ask that you lift up their spirits.

Help them to find joy every day, shine your light upon them, shake the foundation beneath

them with your Word, wash their robes clean and break their chains that bind them to

darkness. We ask you Gracious God,

Visit them every day

For the sake of the lost ones. You are the tree of life and the bright morning star. Lend your

shade to those who may be walking in the heat of day. Light the way for those who are lost

in darkness. Shelter and guide all who are in need, that they may see your love for them.

We ask you Heavenly Father,

Show us to the waters of life

For the sake of your kingdom. Let us be a reflection of you in our daily life, so that others

may see you in all that we do. Help us all to come together as one Holy family to await your

arrival. You have laid the foundation, now let your kingdom come and let us be its builders.

We ask you King of Kings,

Help us to be salt and light

For the sake of the world. You have granted us many shepherds and leaders. Help each one

to see what is best for the people they serve. Focus their minds on the desire to serve,

rather than the power to rule. Grant each one, clarity, decisiveness, humility and

compassion. We ask you Alpha & Omega,

Lend us your wisdom and judgement

We thank you for all that you have given, and all that you continue to give. We especially

thank you for our leaders, JP and Diana. Bless them and all the people of your kingdom.

Amen, Come Lord Jesus!
