When we are confused
Lord, give us peace.
When we are afraid
Lord, give us peace.
When we are lost in grief
Lord, give us peace.
O God, meet us in this room And grant us peace!
Almighty God, your power makes the lame walk
and the dead rise to new life.
We give you thanks for the love poured into our world
through Christ Jesus,
who opened our minds to understand what you have made,
whose appearance among his followers brings peace,
and who creates faith through touch and taste.
Show us Jesus, even now,
through the mystery of your threefold presence,
one God, abiding now and forever. Amen.

Prayers of the Community
the love & licht family
Lord Jesus Christ, the light of your love shines on, illuminating the places where you are present.
As the bewildered disciples pondered the stories of your appearance, you penetrated the darkness of their fear and doubt with your word of peace.
You showed them the appalling marks of evil pierced on your hands and feet.
You opened their minds to understand why you had to die to defeat such evil and death.
Increase our understanding, we pray, and open our minds and hearts to receive you . . .
Lord, hear our prayer . . .
Bring to us O God, the sense of your living presence as we go into this new week.
Renew in us the faith you want us to have, the faith that is not afraid to reach out in your name and to share the treasure you have given us, that treasure which is greater than silver and gold . . .
Lord – you know our hearts, you know our needs, and you know the hearts of those around us and their needs.
We lift ourselves and them before you at this time . . .
Lord, hear our prayer . . .
Finally, O Lord, we ask that you would bless us with vision for the future and reverence for the past.
Guide us each day as we minister to one another and to the world for which you gave yourself.
Help us each day to bear witness to your name and to do that which you would have us do.
We ask it through Christ Jesus our Lord praying as he taught us:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
Blessing
