O Lord, open my lips.

PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND INTERCESSION
Satisfy us with your love in the morning,
And we will live this day in joy and praise.
Thursday
Loving God, as the rising sun chases away the night, so you have scattered the power of death in the rising of Jesus Christ, and you bring us all blessings in him. Especially we thank you for
The community of faith in our church …
Those with whom we work or share common concerns …
The diversity of your children …
Indications of your love at work in the world…
Those who work for reconciliation. …
Mighty God, with the dawn of your love you reveal your victory over all that would destroy or harm, and you brighten the lives of all who need you. Especially we pray for
Families suffering separation …
People different from ourselves …
Those isolated by sickness or sorrow …
The victims of violence or warfare …
The church in the Pacific region …
Individual prayers of thanksgiving and intercession…
Silent prayer
Lord, Jesus, unconquered light,
Your power has dawned upon the world with transforming love.
Grant that we, who greet you on this joyful morning,
May be found faithful at the day’s end,
And in that final day be gathered with all your children
To that city whose light is the radiance of your face,
For you reign in splendor now and forever.
Amen.
