There’s so much going on in our world. Pastor Larry offered the following prayer via social media on Monday.
O Lord, you have been our God in all our generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or Earth received her frame, you were God. Hear our cries and our prayers for our hurting world:
Lord, so many in Louisiana, the Gulf Coast, and the Southeast have had their lives torn to shatters by Hurricane Ida.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord, the people of Afghanistan are suffering and oppressed. Thirteen families are grieving the loss of their young heroes. So many more of our service people are still in danger.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord, the people in southwest Haiti are struggling and suffering in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord, the pandemic again grows worse here and around the world. Our very children are increasingly at risk.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord, in good times and bad, you are our strength and shield. Hear our prayer and empower us to be instruments of your peace. God of our mothers and fathers, God of our children to all our generations, our trust as always is in you.
In Jesus’ holy name we pray.
Amen.
