Prayer for your meditation

Prayer for Lent
Mighty God, you raise the sun from its grave of night, and gather your people to celebrate the dawn, for in Jesus Christ you have destroyed death and set us free from its bondage. We praise your might and majesty, great God, and thank you for all good gifts of your salvation. Especially we thank you for
     loving families and forgiving friends...
     promises of newness in our lives...
     blessings of nourishment and shelter and safety...
     the community of Christians in which we worship...
God our deliverer, you bring us from death to life and preserve us from all evil. Stir up in us concern for others that in serving them we may be close to Christ, who is our servant Lord. Especially we pray for
     those who are ravaged by disease...
     victims of prejudice...
     the cynical who mock your love...
     the hungry and homeless...
     all who give of themselves in serving others...
Remember us, O God,
so we may not forget you this day.
Direct our steps in discipleship,
and protect our souls in faith,
that we may be steadfast in your service,
because we are secure in your love
which we know in Jesus Christ,
Savior of all, in whose name we pray Amen.

There are many needs and concerns among members of this community of faith, and our extended families. We pray for and with each other, that we may be sustained and supported by the Holy Spirit.

The Lake Edge prayer chain is a very important part of our community support. Prayer requests can be for anyone and from anyone. If names are to be used the request must come from the person him/herself or permission granted from that person. Otherwise, prayers can be more general.. Example 'Pray for a friend; situation, needing guidance, etc. Please indicate if this is a one-time request or to be continued until further notice.

Prayers are strictly confidential and passed on to each person on the prayer chain by telephone, and to the e-mail chain members. Contacts should be made to the church office, who will forward them to the prayer chain chair.
