SUMMER PRAYER:

Creator God, we thank you for making this beautiful world and for calling us to be your people. Help us to enjoy these summer days.

Father, we ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD:
Loving Father, we bring to you the suffering of our world today.

Look kindly upon every person living in fear, suffering, persecution, or facing death.

Help us to remember that you are the Father of all of your children on earth.

Fill each heart with an unwavering trust in your Fatherly love.

Forgive us when we have not cared for our earth, the home you have given. Forgive us when we choose the path of selfishness rather than the path of Love.

Forgive us when we forget to live as brothers and sisters on this earth, the way you have shown in
fellowship with your disciples.

Look upon us with your compassion, the way you looked upon the world from the cross.

Remember not the evil we have done, but see the depth of our repentance.

Give peace to the world: help us to live anew.

Send your Spirit to teach us to build rather than to destroy, to love rather than to hate, to live rather than to die.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
