Heavenly Father, with the faithful in every place we call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have been reconciled to You, and through whose name we pray for faith to see Jesus as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, and to rely upon Him as such; and for courage to confess before others (as did John and Andrew) who Jesus is and where He may now be found to forgive-in His Word and Sacraments; Lord, in Your mercy; hear our prayer.
Whatsoever things we need, please grant to us, Most Loving Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples and he lookedat Jesus as he walked by and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"." John1:35-36
A Prayer based on the Petitions of the Lord's Prayer: "For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. AMEN." In the Name of the Father and of (+) the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Lord, You give us every reason to say, "Amen. Amen. It shall be so!" To you belongs all power and glory, forever and ever. Therefore, hear the praise that is given through an appeal to your mercy, and lend your fatherly ear to my petitions:* For the ill, suffering, injured: O Lord, You show your power and glory through mercy toward sinners. Hear my prayer for those who are ill, suffering, or injured, especially Phil Sloane*, Pam Covey*, Connie Block*, Richard June*, Ramona Johnson*, Kim Baszyk, Susan Ail, Cindy Gillespie- who suffer from affliction*; remind them of Your compassion and, according to Your will, heal Phil, Pam, Connie, Richard, Ramona, Kim, Susan and Cindy of all affliction. In all circumstances, strengthen their faith, that they might clearly confess," AMEN. "
For the anxious, lonely: O God, Yours is the kingdom. Yours is the power. Yours is the glory. Yet, we sinners so often grow anxious about the temporal trials that face us. Hear my prayer on behalf of Joe Hibbs and family; remind them that there is none other besides You who deserves all glory, and thus none other that need weaken our "AMEN." Bring Joe and his family confidence in the hour of trial, that they may take heart in Your promises, "Yes, yes. It shall be so!"*
For the mourning: O Lord, because You have all power and glory and dominion over life and death, we may rejoice in the Christian's death, even as we mourn our earthly loss. Hear my prayer on behalf of Dan Hoppmann and family, who mourn the death of Dale. Comfort them with the promise that Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life - "whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live." Cheer Dan and family with such life-giving words, that they might not weep as they who have no hope, but confidently confess, "I believe in the resurrection of the dead, and thelife of the world to come. AMEN - It shall be so!"
Please bless our shut-ins: Geraldine Hagemann*, Margaret Joseph*, and Velma Maas**
For the rejoicing: O Lord, as a God of glory, You are also a Godwho delights in showering us with blessings. Hear my prayer of thanksgiving on behalf of Nicole* and Kevin Hege who today rejoice(s) at the occasion of healthy birth of daughter Zoey Margaret.Grant them a thankful heart, ever fixed on your grace through Christ Crucified, and therefore joins the eternal refrain - "AMEN. AMEN. AMEN."
Hear my petitions, O Heavenly Father, for the sake of Your Son, whose sacrificial death gives us the freedom to say, "AMEN - God's promises shall be so!", so that we may with all boldness pray, "Our Father, who art in heaven..."
