From this week's Worship . . .
Prayers of Intercession

Almighty God, You brought Your Son through the waters of baptism for our sake and then drove Him into the wilderness. We too have gone through the water of our baptism and we are walking in the wilderness of this age. Send Your ministering angels that we would persevere through all that will come before us this week. Guide us by grace and in Your wisdom, to look to You in and for all things. Lord, in Your mercy . . .

Father in heaven, You know the condition of our world. We are still reeling from the effects of the global pandemic. But, You know what the outcome will be. We pray for the world, asking that the lives of people everywhere can return to a normal pattern, asking that this would be founded upon the peace which You give. Watch over all of the leaders whom You have appointed in our world. We pray especially for our president, our governor, and our local officials, that they may be guided by Your hand of wisdom. We lift up to You our bishop, Bishop Selbo and our district dean, Pastor Harttner, that they may lead us in a way that is pleasing to you. Lord, in Your mercy . . .

Lord, we pray for the millions who are effected by inclement weather they are not prepared for in Texas. Guide people to work together for good, according to Your purpose. Keep them in safety and as they do the hard work of repairing all of the damage done, guide all to work together in harmony so that Your presence would be know to all. Lord, in Your mercy . . .
Lord Jesus, You have brought Good Shepherd to this point in time. We pray for the pastor You are preparing to serve Your people in this place. As You prepare our next pastor’s heart, so prepare us to receive not what we want, but what we need to fulfill Your purpose for the mission You have established here. Lord, in Your mercy. Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of Your faithful. As we go out into the world, cause the light of Your presence to shine through us that others may see our good works and glorify You, Holy Trinity, through all we do. Open our ears to hear and our hearts to receive as You minister to us and others through us this week. Lord, in Your mercy . . .

Great Physician, You know the many who are on our list of concerns. You know them each by name and what their circumstances are. You have called for us to be a people of prayer. We thank You that You already are there and with those for whom we have concern. Let them know Your presence and let us see Your hand at work in all things. Where it is in Your will, grant wholeness and healing for all for whom You have entrusted to our care in prayer. Hear now your people as they pray, whether the names of concern are spoken aloud, or in the silence of our hearts . . . Lord, in Your mercy . . .

Into Your hands, we commend all for whom we pray through the glorious grace which is ours through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives with You and the Holy Spirit, now and foreve
