Lord Jesus Christ, Lamb of God who has taken away the sins of all the world, so govern and guide Your Church throughout the world that Your Word is rightly preached and Your Sacraments are rightly administered, for without these Means of Grace that connect us to You and sustain us in the faith, we would surely perish. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Into Your hands, O Father, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy, through Your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord…. AMEN.

In the Name of the Father and of (+) the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Lord, even when our last hour comes, You are still the only true God and the deliverer of Your people. To that end, lend your fatherly ear to my petitions:
· For the ill, suffering, injured: O Lord, You alone can deliver us from the Evil One. Hear my prayer for those who are ill, suffering, or injured, especially Valerie Mulles*, Karen Suarez, Susan Ail- who suffer and are in distress; protect them in the one true Faith, and reassure them that You will deliver them from their physical affliction, either through renewed health as Phil Sloane*, Richard June*, Jeff Engvall- who thank you for a share of recovery or through entrance into eternal rest.
· For the anxious, lonely: O God, even when trials and tribulations await us, You promise to deliver us. Hear my prayer on behalf of Joe h & family, Anne R & family, and Beth W & family bring to them remembrance of Your Word: “In this world, you will have tribulation; but – be of good cheer! – I have overcome the world.”
· For the mourning: O Lord, when it appears that the Evil One has defeated us, Your promise to deliver us remains. Hear my prayer on behalf of all who mourn the death of a loved one including Laurie, Malcomb, Joan, & Val. Keep them mindful of the redeeming work of Christ Crucified, that – because of Him – all who die in the faith are guaranteed a blessed end and will live with You forever.
· For the rejoicing: O Lord, as You have delivered us from the snares of the devil, You give us reasons –even in this life – to rejoice. Hear my prayer of thanksgiving on behalf of all who today rejoice at their own occasions. Grant them a grateful heart that thanks you for such temporal blessings and confidently looks forward to the blessed end You have prepared for us all.
Hear my petitions, O Heavenly Father, for the sake of Your Son, who -through His death- has eternally delivered us from every evil and has given us every certainty to pray, “Our Father, who art in heaven…”
