General Intercessions
As we anticipate the beginning of Lent, let us pray – as Christ’s followers – for an insight into how break through barriers that have prevented us from being healed of our doubts and hesitations, and helping others to move on too
. . . (pause)
Lord, hear us
All: Lord, hear our prayer
Let us pray for the people in our country whose lives have been devastated by floods and fire, as they – too – try to find a road in the wilderness in the days and months ahead, and also for those who will help them re-build their lives and homes . . . (pause)
Lord, hear us
All: Lord, hear our prayer
We pray for community leaders in countries everywhere whose people are struggling to survive physical disasters, extreme poverty and civic strife, including the new Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, Morgan Tsvangerai
. . . (pause)
Lord, hear us
All: Lord, hear our prayer
We pray for the insights we need to live sustainably in our environment,
for the courage to persist in our efforts to see them implemented,
and for the skills which will help us engage many others in diversifying and refining methods to ensure it happens . . . (pause)
Lord, hear us
All: Lord, hear us.
