In Jesus you came among us as a suffering servant. Redeem, humble, and heal us as your people from pride and the certainty that we always know your will for we are only empowered to confess Christ crucified. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. In creation, redeem life springing from death. Create new possibilities for lost habitats and endangered species in areas affected by climate change Texas, . . . grant relief from natural disasters in Australia, Japan, Sudan, . . . and nurture new growth. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Jesus was handed over to the powers of this world. In all nations, instruct the powerful, that they would not exploit their power but maintain justice. Sustain soldiers, and guide those who command them, that they serve those in greatest need. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. Welcome into our Lord’s family of redeeming faith Pastor Randall and Mrs Diana Romsdahl with their lifelong friend Nyater Chen and all newly born: Eka to Rachel and Derwin; Leora to Linnae and Jamie; Remi to Alyssa and Elizabeth and Riley to Lindsay and Steven. Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great. On the cross Jesus joined all who feel forsaken. Abide with those who are condemned to death. Defend those who are falsely accused. Console and strengthen those who are mocked or bullied. Accompany all who suffer Dennis, Ione, Mary, and Sarah living in residential care, our local and global siblings, the vaccinated and unvaccinated, all living with surging and variant COVID-19 with accompanying lockdowns alongside of quarantines in Brazil, Chile, Germany, Japan, U.K . . . , for all emergency responders, transporters, security guards, as well as disaster volunteers, the displaced and unsheltered campers at 2nd Ave North and Van White Memorial Blvd, brothers James and Bobbie, Cindy, Linda, Maggie, Mike M., Samantha, William . . . grant all respite and renewal.
