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 For Tornado Victims across the Mid-west: Lord God of the wind and the waves, where storm winds and tornadoes have caused destruction and loss of life, raise up helpers to respond with restoring and comforting actions to those who are suffering. Especially we pray for the Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, community, as they experienced disruption to the campus and to graduation from the tornado that struck there on Friday, May 16. God, in your grace and 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 populace. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

For peace in Israel and Gaza, healing of heart and mind and body for those grieving, suffering and wounded; for stability among nations to avoid global war and promote world peace.  Let us pray to the Lord.  Lord, have mercy.

For the leaders involved on both sides of all conflicts especially between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas:  Lord of the nations and ruler of all the earth, bring common sense and compassion to bear in the hearts and minds of those making decisions with regard to these wars, that peaceful resolutions may be sought and achieved, and especially that nuclear confrontation may be avoided.  Bring peace and healing to those lands and comfort to those who grieve.  Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.  Amen.

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.
