Prayer of Intercession
(inspired by 2
Corinthians 9:6)
Lord, in your word you teach us
that sparse sowing means meagre reaping;
give us generous hearts as we respond to your
love.
Lord, in your mercy; hear our prayer.
Lord, you teach us that a generous heart
produces a bountiful harvest;
pour your love within us.
Lord, in your mercy; hear our prayer.
Lord, you teach us to pray for those who govern
us;
bless all in positions of authority
who take decisions for the nations of your
world.
Lord, in your mercy; hear our prayer.
Lord, you teach us to bring your healing
to the sick and suffering;
may your healing be upon those
whom we name before you now ...
Lord, in your mercy; hear our prayer.
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray
Our
Father in heaven….
