Here’s a prayer of intercession from Bruce Prewer’s Home Page.
Prayer of
Intercession
First of all, let us pray for the
world-wide church:
By the inflowing of the Holy
Spirit
may we become in practice
more truly what we already are in
faith and hope:
the body of Christ and new family
God.
Let there be truth, healing, compassion
and joy,
God of our salvation.
Now let us pray for our country;
that the values of the kingdom of
God
may become less unusual
in the way we care for the weak
and the neglected,
the foolish and the disgraced.
Let there be truth, healing, compassion
and joy,
God of our salvation.
Let us pray for the strong and
the wealthy,
the powerful and the ruthless;
the famous and the idolised;
that they may realise how easy it
is to gain the whole world
yet lose the soul.
Let there be truth, healing, compassion
and joy,
God of our salvation.
And let us pray for all
suffering, broken, and forlorn people
around us in church and
community;
that the healing of Christ may
reach into the soul’s depths
where no human hand can touch or
human word console.
Let there be truth, healing, compassion
and joy,
God of our salvation.
And now unto the loving God
who is always doing far better
than we can think or pray or do,
be glory in the church through Christ
Jesus,
now and beyond the end of time.
Amen!
