COMMUNITY PRAYER
Written by Jarrod K.
The last Sunday before the start of Advent is called, by some, ‘Reign of Christ Sunday.’So, we pause and pray to our victorious Christ and for our community.
Please join me in prayer.
Loving God,
Your mercies are new everyday and great is your faithfulness.Ceaseless creator and prudent parent,
hear our prayer,
Among us, today, are those facing great trials:
For some, sickness and ailments of the body and of mind, which keeps us from doing the things we hoped to do;
For others, joblessness, the stress of schooling, fraught relationships, and with them, uncertainty of what’s next;
Still for others among us, death and the unavoidable transition of loss;
In this moment, we have nothing else to do but to lift these things to you, our God.
This season, our community carries all these things together, and we also carry gratitude:
Gratitude for the people we call friends that you’ve placed in our lives, whom we rely on when times are tough;
Gratitude for the start of a new season, the pure scents of autumn, the sunrise and sunset, and the new things you are doing in our lives;
Gratitude for honest words, warm hugs, and simple gestures.
Christ who reigns over all with a perfect kingdom—an upside down kingdom.
Whose reign is one of healing, reconciliation, and life—have mercy on us, and watch over us—walking always just a few steps ahead, for us to follow in faith.
In the name of Christ our King,
Amen.
