PRAYER OF THE CHURCH
Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 17A)
Aug. 30, 2026
In peace, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
That we would place all vengeance in the hands of God, who is ever righteous and faithful, and who will always carry out justice and deliver His people out of the hand of the wicked, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For all pastors and missionaries, that they might say with Jeremiah, “Hear the Word of the Lord,” and faithfully proclaim that Word to us, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For the households of this congregation, that all may live in love that issues from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For all who make, execute and judge our laws, that their eyes may be turned toward the Lord; and that they would receive wisdom and strength to faithfully carry out their duties, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For the sick and suffering, that they might have relief from pain and the courage to endure whatever crosses and tribulations the Lord chooses to lay upon them, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For all who receive the Supper today, that they may faithfully receive it for the forgiveness of sins and be sustained until Christ returns in glory, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
For those persecuted for the name of Christ, that in communion with all the saints we may bear our crosses faithfully, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.
All these things and whatever else You know that we need, grant us, Father, for the sake of Him who died and rose again and now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever. Amen.
