Let us pray for the whole people of God in Christ Jesus, for all people according to their needs:

Loving God, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, raise up faithful teachers, preachers and volunteers for your church. By their willingness to serve, make them examples of your love for all creation. Keep them hungry to learn more about your goodness and eager to teach it to all people. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. (Acts 8:26-40)

Loving God, supreme ruler of all nations, bring peace and wholeness to your people in all lands. Make leaders bold to rule with mercy and equity. Encourage citizens of all lands to participate in their governments to the fullest extent possible, and help us to appreciate the privilege we have in to express our preferences through voting and petitioning our elected representatives. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. (Psalm 22:24-30)

Loving God, you inspire us with your constant abundance of gifts. Keep us mindful of our wealth so that we might be encouraged to share from our bounty with others who cannot provide for themselves. Since all we have comes from you, help us to pass it on to all your children. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. (1 John 4:7-21)

Abide in us. Feed us. Prune us, gently. Make us worthy of your love. Strengthen us to keep your commandments so that we might know true joy. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. (John 15:1-8)

Into your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
