Our prayers for others
Ian and Sonia
| We pray for the unwise. | We want to act wisely; grant us wisdom. |
| We pray for those we love. | We pray for those we have never met. |
| We pray for those who are lonely. | We pray for those who are sad. |
| We pray for victims of war. | We will work for peace. |
| We pray for those struggling with addiction. | We pray for patience and compassion. |
| We pray for those without hope. | Grant us tangible hope to share with all. |
| We pray for those who are weary. | May their burdens be shared. |
| We pray for our enemies. | Help us to love as you love us. |
| We pray for those who have been silenced. | Enable us to share their song with others. |
| We pray for the hungry. | May all the world share the food we have. |
| Help us to live carefully. | Help us to live wisely. |
| Help us to rejoice in all things. | Help us to be grateful in all things. |
| In the name of your child - | our wise teacher, we pray. |
| Amen | Amen |
|
And now we pray specifically for ourselves. |

|
Our God, Holy Wisdom, we open the windows of our hearts to you. |
Feed us with your bread of life; inspire us with your awesome presence so that we might more fully become the people you have called us to be. |
|
Amen |
Amen |
