PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

“Then you will call on ME and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” ~ Jeremiah 29:12

Prayer

Let us Pray Together

“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” ~ Martin Luther

And so we come to the throne of the Almighty in prayer. Trusting that our Father in Heaven hears our prayers and delights in communion with His children

We Pray
For our Community

Join us as we come before our God in prayer for peace, justice, unity, and hope. Each day new prayers will be added as we plead for the Holy Spirit to bring about healing and knit us together as the people of God

The Ministry of Prayer

Prayer is among the most powerful tools in the arsenal of Jesus followers. As disciples we rely upon prayer and we seek to grow in this art each day. Join with us in sharing prayer requests as well as in lifting these requests before our Father in heaven.

We lift these prayers to the Lord…

Please pray for the Georgia (and national) school systems as School Boards work out how and/or when to begin a school year. Pray wisdom to guide those who make these decisions and cover parents with confident faith as they choose whether or not to send their children to in person classes. Please, Lord, help our decision makers break away from what has been past practice and develop a solid educational system that meets the needs of our children and utilizes the skills You have given teachers to educate them in how to live in this world. . We ask in Jesus’ Name.

June 2020

Dear Lord God, I cannot count the sins that I have done and still do. I have forgotten most of them and no longer feel my guild. All that is in me and all power that is not grace is sin and is condemned. My works and my powers only make me despondent. I do not know what else to do but to hope and pray for your mercy. As grace and faith control me, I am devout through Christ. Where these fail me, I know and confess that nothing good is left in me. No matter how long I live, it will never be different. If I had the holiness of all monks, there would still be nothing good in what I think, speak, live, and o, if it did not have your divine grace and power. All my sins are forgiven out of pure grace. This is the joy and comfort which you gladly grant to me, a poor sinner. Amen.  ~  Martin Luther

The church must be ever ready to wash the disciples’ feet, a serving church, not a triumphalistic church, biased in favor of the powerless to be their voice, to be in solidarity with the poor and oppressed, the marginalized ones–yes, preaching the gospel of reconciliation but working for justice first, sine there can never be real reconciliation without justice. It will demonstrate in its very life that Jesus has broken down the wall of partition, and so in its common life there will be no artificial barriers to any Christian being able to participate fully. ~ Desmond Tutu

Lord Jesus, by your Spirit, make us a servant church. As you, on the cross, broke the petition that separated us from you–break the walls that divide us that we all may participate in your beautiful kingdom. Amen.

There is a God who loves you and died that you might know him. This love is sufficient to gather the divided peoples of the world, even when all the politicians and philosophers fail. ~ Esau McCauley

Precious Jesus, we trust you. We lean into you. We follow you. By your Holy. Spirit and through your grace, gather the divided peoples of this land. Unify us to stand with you against all evil. In the name of Christ. Amen

An old man was asked by a certain soldier if God received a penitent man. And after heartening him with many words, he said to him at the last, ‘Tell me, beloved, if your cloak were torn, would you throw it away? He said, ‘Nay, but I would patch it and wear it.’ The old man said to him, ‘If you would spare your garment, shall not God have mercy on God’s own image? ~ Sayings of the Desert Fathers

Almighty Father in heaven, we are tattered and torn. We are broken and ragged. Mend us. Again. And again. And again. By your Holy Spirit, open our eyes to see how we have failed to see your Image reflected. Patch us up. Restores us and renew us. In the mighty, matchless name of Jesus. Amen.

June 2020

To know full forgiveness and the first stirrings of healing, we must yield our self-sufficiency. Forgiveness is essentially a surrender to those others, God as well as a faithful community, who alone can give us the healing we absolutely need but can never offer ourselves.

Lord Jesus, you grace us with the gift of community which calls and beckons us to abandon our self-sufficiency. You usher us into a deeper reliance upon you and one another. Knit us together by the power of your Holy Spirit that together we might seek truth, honestly, justice, and the sweet fruit of forgiveness and reconciliation. In the name of Christ. Amen
