Gracious and loving Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with joy and gratitude in our hearts. We are not deserving of
the many blessings that you have bestowed upon us, but you are merciful and
compassionate. We are forever indebted to Jesus Christ, our Savior, who lived and died
for us to live in harmony today.
Divine Holy Spirit, we thank you for our family, friends, and community here at St. Andrews. Your grace has guided this church to become a place of courage, repentance, and unity. We are grateful for our leaders and teachers who have committed themselves to the well-being of each person who seeks your love in this place.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Magnificent Provider, we thank you for the beauty of your Creation, the colorful and fruitful Earth that you have given us. This delightful and dazzling autumn season is a daily reminder of your great mercy.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Forgiving Healer and Lord of Resurrection, on this All Saints Day, we thank you for the faithful believers who have come before us and continue to live among us. We praise those who dedicated their lives to your service, those alive or dead, known or unknown, who set an example of faith and holiness for us. We pray for our connection and inspiration from each of these saints.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Eternal Master, we offer you our many petitions. We pray first for the ministries and
leaders of this church, this community, and this nation. We pray that you, the Great Teacher, will inspire and guide our leaders to draw us together into one great company of disciples. We ask for you instill the values and morals of Jesus Christ into our leaders so that they can advise, educate, and rule this church and this nation with positivity and diligent discipleship.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Abundant God, we pray that you send us the gift of rain. We ask that you replenish and sustain this Earth so that we may benefit and praise the fruits of our soil. This great valley thirsts for you to restore and refresh the Earth this autumn and winter, and we request your global help for the well-being of Creation as well.

Father, we lift up to you the poor, oppressed, sick, bereaved, lonely, and those who
suffer in body, mind, and spirit. We ask that you lay your healing hand upon those who
are physically and mentally ill, those who are in great pain and agony, and especially
those close to this congregation who need your soothing love. We ask that you revive
and rebuild the homeless, the addicted, and simply those who have strayed from your
calling. Please rehabilitate these people and help them to return to your path. Please
preserve the hope of those who fear and suffer, strengthen their minds and recoveries.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Almighty Creator, we pray that you battle the evil forces within our hearts and mind. Help us to be just and honest, and please protect us from those who seek to destroy your influence in this world. We are sinful and shameful, and you are righteous and pure, and we need your blessing to lead a daily life that reflects your love.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Heavenly Father, we as a church and your unified people, faithfully believe that you will observe our requests. We humbly trust in your incredible power. Into your hands, gracious God, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy; through Jesus Christ, our Savior. And all God’s people agreed and said,
Amen.

Let us pray,
Behold a host arrayed in white like thousand snow clad mountains bright, that stands with palms and sings its psalms before the throne of light. These are the saints that kept God's word; they are the honored of The Lord. He is their prince who drowned their sins, so they were cleansed, restored. They now serve God both day and night, they sing their songs in endless light. Their anthems ring when they all sing with angles shining bright.
Today we celebrate All Saints Day and remember those whose light has been extinished and are now in Your presence. We ask for Your continued comfort and healing to the families who hearts are missing their loved ones. We have lost parents, grandparents, siblings and friends who are now experiencing the love and grace You offer, be with us all and fill us with the knowledge that one day we will be reunited.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
In faith, hope and love, give us compassion, commitment and a steadfast heart which no one can drag down and that no tribulation can wear out. Grant us O Lord understanding to KNOW You, diligence to SEEK You, wisdom to FIND You and a faithfulness that may bring us to your eternal kingdom. We give thanks for the saints living with us today who continue to inspire and encourage us to follow Christ as Lord and Savior.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
God of all comfort and our help in time of need be with the sick and suffering. Grant them healing and return them to health. Remember those who we name in our hearts at this time. . .
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Keep us this day under Your protective care and preserve us, securely trusting in Your everlasting goodness and love, for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. All God's people agreed and say. Amen
