Prayers for the week of June 28, 2015
O Holy and Most Merciful God, Who Alone has authority over life and death, through Your Holy Spirit grant us patience as we wait for Your help, knowing that You will have compassion on us according to Your steadfast love, and will sustain us in saving faith; Lord, in Your mercy: Hear us as we pray for the whole Church of God in Christ Jesus and for all people according to their needs.
Great is Your faithfulness, O Lord, so into Your hands, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy, through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;” Lamentations 3:22

A Prayer based on the Petitions of the Lord’s Prayer
“But, deliver us from evil.”
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 Susan Ail; protect her in the one true Faith, and reassure Susan that You will deliver her from her physical affliction, either through renewed health or through entrance into eternal rest. Also bless Helen Serpico as she prepares for, undergoes, and recovers from surgery this week.
* For the anxious, lonely: O God, even when trials and tribulations await us, You promise to deliver us. Hear my prayer on behalf of Fern Weddle, LaVerne Andersen, Alice Breneman, Margaret Joseph, and Bruce Morecraft and the Widows and Widowers of Calvary; bring to them remembrance of Your Word: “In this world, you will see 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 (NAME), who mourn(s) the death of a loved one. Keep (him/her/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 welcome of Neal and Michelle Trenery and baptized children Kayla, Aaron, and James as they become members of Calvary. Grant us a grateful heart that thanks you for such temporal blessings and confidently looks forward to the blessed end You have prepared for us all.
* Please watch over our nation, in the wake of lat week's Supreme Court decision that further indoctrinates in false teaching our society in a fundamental attack upon God’s will for marriage and family.
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…”
