Prayers of the People, E3C

Picture
​Almighty God,

We need you to lead us
because we have proven
that we cannot lead ourselves
with integrity or honor.
We have forgotten your Word,
have turned away from your wisdom,
have chosen other paths.
We have failed to call upon you
for guidance and direction, Lord.
Call forth your prophets
to lead us back into paths of righteousness
by the law of love
for your name's sake.

Merciful God,

We need you to heal us,
to gather us together
and to lead us into a Spirit
of unity.
The pain of division is real, Lord..
When members of your Body
are suffering,
we all suffer together.
Heal us, we pray,
and renew in us a spirit of hope
that we might go forward in peace.

Compassionate God,

We need you to inspire us!
Set the feast for us
and call us to your Table
as a reminder of your holiness.
Lead us out of our past
that we may not repeat it,
and lead us into a future
with joyful hearts
that the love you have shown us
overflows among us
upon the neighbor and the stranger in our midst.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers.

    Julie served as a Commissioned Ruling Elder in a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation for thirteen years. She now absolutely delights in filling the pulpit for colleagues upon request, and looks forward to opportunities to do so. Her reformed perspective is sprinkled with humor and presented with authenticity, and she is open to creatively deconstructing worship as a means to helping congregants explore worship in transformational ways.

    Julie and her husband, Ray, are parents of three adult children, and grandparents of four energetic and imaginative little people. She is an introverted-with-enough-extrovert-balance-to-keep-her-social, perfectionistic-with-hopper-tendencies, time and goal-oriented, kaleidoscopic, and insatiably curious child of God.
