Gracious heavenly Father,
Thank you for the many blessings you have given us - the rain this past week, our families, friends, food and shelter, but most importantly, your love and the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ and thru him, eternal life with you.
You have told us to ask when we want something as children as their Fathers. Today, Father, we pray for the end to the violence in our world. It plagues our schools and our neighborhoods and the wars plague us world wide. I never thought that Christians in America would be killed because of their faith in you, but it's happened. Please give comfort to the families of all those whose lives were touched by the latest incident in Oregon.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Please send the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of those who perpetuate these evil deeds and let us all live in peace until you come again.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
We pray for those who are physically and emotionally ill, for those who suffer from addiction and mental illness, and the homeless. Please lay your healing hands on them and let them feel your love surrounding them.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of those who have rejected you so that they will finally accept you and the salvation you have given us.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Lord please hear our silent petitions at this time...
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
We, your people, ask these things in your name and together we say. Amen.

Prayers Written by Rachelle Moreno
Let us come to our Lord in prayer,
Heavenly Father, first and foremost, we give you thanks for loving us unconditionally. We give thanks for the grace you give us that we can extend to those in our lives. We thank you that you forgive us even though we do not obey and trust you with our whole hearts or keep your commandments. We thank you for those hearts who hear your calling to support those in need, especially all those who lost their homes in the fires. Give them courage to restart and the means to do so.
Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer
Father please help repair what we have broken in our relationships when we just completely mess up and do not live out your word in our lives. Teach us and help us undo the damage we cause due to our sins because of our disobedience to you. We thank you especially for the Holy Spirit that lives in our hearts to help guide us and lead us to opportunities to share your love with others; those that may be desperate for a kind word or deed. We may be the only love of Jesus that they see, so let us give glory to you by strengthening us to act immediately and work diligently seeing ALL people as if we were looking through your eyes Father and seeing the pain that lingers in each and every person. Let your power work in their lives.
Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer
We pray for those who point us in the right direction in our lives, our pastors, teachers, and leaders who tirelessly teach the many ministries at St. Andrews that help us all grow in faith.

Lord, in your mercy: Hear our prayer
