May All Who Confess Your Name Be United In Your Truth

Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth,
live together in your love,
and reveal your glory in the world.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace;
that we may honor one another
and serve the common good.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Give us all a reverence for the earth as your creation,
that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others
and to your honor and glory.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Bless all whose lives are closely linked with mine,
and grant that I may serve Christ in them,
and love even as he loves me.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind or spirit;
give them courage and hope in their troubles,
and bring them the joy of your salvation.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.

I commend to your mercy all who have died,
that your will for them may be fulfilled;
and I pray that I may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom.
Lord, in your mercy, hear my prayer.
