King of all the earth,
Creator of the universe,
Holy Triune God,
From everlasting to everlasting, you are Lord.

You, O Lord of hosts, are with us; O God of Jacob, you have been our stronghold;
You have been our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

No matter our circumstances, your presence keeps us from fear;
You have been our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

We look upon your works, O Lord, and marvel at the awesome things you have done on earth;
You have been our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Who is like our God, the One who will be exalted among the nations, the One who will be exalted in all the earth?

You have been our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

This is our God, the Holy One.
Come before him with thanksgiving and offer him the sacrifice of praise.

I invite you to add your own praises to the Lord.

Silence.

How worthy you are, Holy God, to receive all our praise.  We worship you in the glory of your perfect Trinity and ask for grace to steadfastly believe and proclaim your unity.

We pray for your holy catholic church;
Give us wise and gentle leaders.

We confess the shortcomings of the church – that under her care many have been overcome with fear and dismay, or have gone missing;
Lord Christ, Our Righteousness, we look to you for healing and wholeness.

Grant that every member of the church may truly and humbly serve you;
That your name may be glorified by all people.

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;
That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.

I invite you to add your own prayers for the worldwide church.

Silence. 

Creator of the earth, you spoke the world into existence and sustain all things by your life giving word.  Consider the toil and sorrow of the people of the earth and, in your compassion, have mercy on the world.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

We pray for the poor, the persecuted, the sick, and all who suffer;
For the refugees, prisoners, and all who are in danger;
Relieve and protect them, O Lord, and grant them eternal hope in you.

Teach us how to rightly steward the gift of your creation,
That the resources of the world would be used to your honor and glory.

I invite your prayers for the needs of the world, remembering especially…

Silence.

God of all love and peace, we come to you in faith, offering you access into every area of our lives.

We pray for this congregation;
Father God, we thank you for redeeming us.

You have delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to your kingdom;
Father God, we thank you for redeeming us.

Strengthen us with all power, according to your glorious might, for all endurance;
Father God, we thank you for redeeming us .

Grant us increasing patience with joy, and hearts that daily offer you gifts of gratitude;
Father God, we thank you for redeeming us.

We look to you, Lord of all, mindful of our helplessness,
Glorify your name in the midst of our need.

I invite you to cast all your cares and concerns on the Lord, remembering that He cares for you.

Silence.

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;
May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.

We believe in you, Lord Christ.
We cry out to you, Father God.
We receive your witness, Holy Spirit.
Abide with us as we abide in you this week and always, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
