Church Prayers and Intercessions

Church Prayers and Intercessions for Trinity Sunday by Mrs Morag Stewart


We bind ourselves, O God, today, to the strong name of the Trinity.
And we name you: Three in One, One in Three; and claim our place in your community of love.
We are embraced, loving God,
embraced in the community that is the heart not just of our church,
but also in the community that is the very heart of who you are:
Three in One; Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of life.
Within that great love, we are held and treasured.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for our hurting world. That war-makers will find peace. That the hungry will find food. That refugees will find shelter. That injustice will be answered with all that is right and good.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for all who suffer. For those we love dearly. For those we barely know. For those whose suffering we have ignored. Be present in the healing touch of all hands that help the sick and suffering and send your Spirit to comfort and protect all who need you.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for all who struggle. For those who cannot see a way through broken relationships, difficult financial realities, emotional darkness, and deep, deep loneliness. May they find you even in the most hopeless places. May they find your people, too, in those places, bringing good news and hope to all who are longing for something new.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for all who are joyful. We rejoice at the promise of new life, and old lives made new. We celebrate the movement through milestones: births, graduations; new jobs; new relationships; the promise of something wonderful. We remember those moments of blessing in our own lives and we thank you for the opportunity to use our lives to your glory, to live lives that are full, and worthy of your calling.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We pray for all whose hearts have been saddened by the death of someone close and dear to them, for members of our families who have died and whose anniversary we recall. Help us to experience the comfort of the Holy Spirit within us, and the fellowship of the church family around us until we are reunited once more in your heavenly kingdom. 
Jesus Christ is the light of the World, a light which no darkness can quench.  We remember before God those who have died and light a candle to symbolise the light of Christ which eternally shines and brings hope. 
You turn our darkness into light in your light shall we see light.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer

We bind ourselves, O God, today, to the strong name of the Trinity.
And we name you: Three in One, One in Three; and claim our place in your community of love. Be with us, within us, behind us, before us.
Merciful Father, Accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen
