Prayer Through The Ages
Show us, O God of mercy, that no sin is so great that it cannot be confessed; no wound so deep it cannot be healed, and no sinner so lost that grace cannot bring them home. Amen.
William Booth (1829-1912)
Our Prayers and Prayer Requests
Gracious God, whose loving kindness has no limits, Lord, we praise you for we know our times are in your Hand and you are with us! You inhabit the praises of Your people, and so we pray…
Teach us afresh the way of Christ.
- Where we have felt discouraged, renew us through signs of hope;
- where we have been tempted to give up, grant us strength and faith to face the day;
- where we have grown anxious about the future, give us courage to plant the seeds of tomorrow in acts of radical love today.
- Renew us by your Spirit and set us free to serve you so that the whole of creation may rejoice in your name.
