Trinity Lutheran Church at Prayer

Trinity Lutheran Church at Prayer is designed to serve as a guide for daily prayer for the the people of Trinity (and anyone else who happens to stumble upon this page). Each week there will be a new file with the Readings for the Week,  a theme prayer, synopsis of the lesson themes, a paragraph that applies the theme to our daily lives, questions for thought,  etc.  There will also be some suggested prayer concerns. The Week preceding Some Concerns for your Prayers

PRAYER for Series A Proper 19: Lord, in your mercy you have good plans for me, sometimes hidden in adversity. Help me see how you bring blessings even through the wrongs I suffer from others. As I have known your love in Christ, let me be loving, even to those who do me wrong. Amen.

For the Families of Victims and the Survivors of Flooding in Nepal:  God of earth and sea and sky, guard and protect those who are suffering through the flooding in Nepal and surrounding areas; grant comfort and peace to family and friends who are unaccounted for and healing of body and mind to those who are injured; through Jesus our Redeemer and Great Physician.  Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.  Amen.

For Those who Serve in the Armed Forces: O Lord God of hosts, stretch forth your almighty arm to strengthen and protect those who serve in the armed forces of our country. Support them and protect them as they defend our country and protect the lives of oppressed civilians. Keep them from all evil, give them courage and loyalty and grant that in all things they may serve honestly and without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.  

For the People of Iran and Israel: Almighty God and Father of all nations, give your guidance to the people of Iran and Israel that they may be protected from great suffering and destruction and be able to restore peace and harmony to their lands. Where there is oppression and bloodshed, let there be freedom and an end to strife. Bring your message of healing, comfort, and salvation through the turmoil, that people may learn of your love. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

FOR OUR COUNTRY: that citizens may hold elected leaders to the task of governing fairly and with integrity, according to the will of God for the good of our country, the freedom of our land, and the unifying of our citizenry. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.  

For leaders to support justice and seek peace: Almighty God, all the nations of the earth are Yours, and besides You there is no other God. Give our leaders the desire for peace and stability and the ability to govern wisely. Let them plead the cause of widows and orphans and serve the needs of the least among us. Bring an end to war and strife, and allow all to live in peace and safety. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer.  (Petition from the Prayers of the Church, LCMS Worship Resources,, Proper 10)

For peace in Ukraine:  God of comfort and of peace, we pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia.  Where there is oppression, establish freedom; where there is repression, promote truth.  Especially guide all those involved in peace negotiations at this time, that results may be fair and equitable and further the freedoms and stability of the people of Ukraine, that citizens may celebrate your compassion and deliverance and that your grace in Christ may be proclaimed to all.  Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.  Amen.
