8/4/2023 0 Comments Prayers of the People, P+10AListen, God,
we need you to examine us, to look deep inside us and see the people we long to be, the people we are trying to be, the people you created us to be. We need you to help us to be those people. The world's way is filled with snares. Everywhere around us, lies rip the fabric of our lives, dividing families and friends and nations and tearing them apart. We are frightened by the destruction that looms. Give us courage, we pray, to continue to stand up to the bullies in our own households, in our workplaces, in our schools, in our communities, and in our legislatures. Help us to see your face in the faces of those we encounter, to listen to them as you listen to us, to trust that you are at work even when we cannot see, and to have faith where hope feels distant. We believe your Spirit is present with us even when we are less than our best selves, transforming us and our world for your glory. May it be so!
