Prayers for the people:
For the one who has lost their way,
We ask that your beckoning and your calling would lead them, heal them, and find them.
For those who feel stuck in a trap of lies,
We ask that your truth would set them free, that the wrapping weeds would disperse.
For those who are discouraged, and down trodden,
We ask that you would send others to encourage, lift up and come alongside.
For the one who's body is crumbling faster than it can mend,
We ask that your healing would pour out in generous portions.
For the ones plagued by aloneness and isolation,
We ask for that the fears of being known would falter to their knees and hold their grip no more.
For the ones in search of meaning,
We ask that their eyes would be fixed on truth and truth telling.
For those suffering from inadequacy,
We ask for an extra large mug of grace.
For the heart broken and desperate,
We ask that your spirit would satisfy every need, fill every emptiness.
For the ones who know there is more, who have caught the aroma of your abundant life,
We ask that you would manifest it in their lives in ways that cannot be refuted or denied.
For the one who feels abandoned and neglected, the one who feels unseen and unheard,
We hear you, we see you, and we're sorry that we often appear or are too busy to receive your presence. Forgive us.
For the ones on the outskirts, on the fringes,
We invite you in, we want to know you, even when it makes us wince.
For those near and far,
we rest all of our loved ones in your arms,
we rest all of our enemies in your arms,
we rest ourselves in your arms.
Heal us for we are a broken people.
Heal me for I am a broken mess of a woman.
