PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Caught between joy and despair, we yearn for the fulfillment of God's desire beyond the brokenness and neediness of this life.
All: We offer thanksgiving for God's presence with us and petitions for the transformation of the church and the world.
Prayers of the People, concluding with:
Life-giver, Pain-bearer, Love-maker, day by day you sustain the weary with your word and gently encourage us to place our trust in you. Awaken us to the suffering of those around us; save us from hiding in denials or taunts that deepen the hurt; give us grace to share one another's burdens in humble service.
