9/27/2019 0 Comments Prayers of the People, P16COur cities are under siege, O God.
Be present with your people in places of conflict around the world, where foreign enemies seek to destroy and hatred and prejudice invade the consciousness like an army. In your mercy, Lord, send your Spirit of hope. Your prophets continue to speak, O God. Continue to steel them that they might not succomb to those who would silence them. Open the ears of your people everywhere to listen and to heed their calls. In your mercy, Lord, send your Spirit of hope. We are buying fields, O God. Small business owners are taking risks, and new ministries are taking root; farmers keep sewing seed, and teachers keep teaching. We want to believe in a future with hope. Help us to remain faithful even when the signs around us point to doom, even when we are exasperated and at our wits end. Be present with us in our optimism and in our struggle to live your claim on our lives. We are surrounded by witnesses, O God. Keep us ever focused on you, so all we do reflects your love for your people everywhere.
