PRAYER OF THE CHURCH
Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 16A)
Aug. 23, 2026

In peace, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For the riches and wisdom of the Lord; for knowledge of the Lord through His Word; and for trust in His grace and favor, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For the Church, that all servants of the Church may fulfill the ministries committed to them; and that we may each boldly confess Christ before the world, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For all families, that even as God blessed and multiplied Abraham, all mothers with child might be protected and all fathers equipped to lead and raise their households in the fear and love of God, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For our president, Congress, governor and all civil leaders in their pursuit of peace and unity; and for all judges and magistrates in their pursuit of justice with mercy, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For the suffering, that the Lord, our life, would sustain and strengthen them; and for those who mourn, that the Lord would console them with the promise of everlasting life in Christ, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For repentance and faith as we approach the Lord’s table, that we may not think more highly of ourselves than is right, but set our hearts and minds on the things of God, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For all believers, that we may offer the Lord our very selves as living sacrifices, redeemed in Christ and declared righteous and holy, so that we may glorify God in all we think, say and do, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

Be merciful to us, O Lord, and hear our prayers. Grant to us the grace of Your Holy Spirit, that we may be led into all truth and be steadfast in the confession of Christ; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

For wisdom, that we may know Christ by faith and trust in God’s Word amid the stormy seas of this mortal life, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For our pastors, our seminaries and their students, that God would continue to send preachers of His mercy; and that all the world may hear and believe, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For all married couples, that their union might reflect Christ and His Church; and for all Christian homes, that God would bless them with His presence and make them places of peace and refuge in Christ, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For all nations, that the Lord who stands over all creation might speak peace unto them and raise up good and faithful leaders, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For the sick and the suffering, that they would be anxious for nothing, but instead make their requests known to Christ, the God of peace, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

For all who come to the Lord’s table, that we might be united in confession even as we are one in Him, let us pray to the Lord: Lord, have mercy.

O Lord, our God, be our light in darkness, our strength in weakness, our courage in fear and our peace in distress. Speak to us by the voice of Your Word, that we may call upon You in the day of trouble and confess Your saving name before all people. Hear us for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Happy 250th, America! We praise our Creator who has sustained this great nation, using the words of Francis Scott Key, which appear in "Before You, Lord, We Bow" (LSB 966).

"Before You, Lord, we bow,
Our God who reigns above
And rules the world below,
Boundless in pow'r and love.
Our thanks we bring
In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
To You, our King!" (Verse 1)
