Prayer of Petition
(inspired by John 17)
Jesus,
just as you prayed for your disciples so long ago
Pray for us,
Pray for our wellbeing,
Pray for our protection.
Pray for your joy to be made complete in us.
Pray for our spiritual growth.
Pray for your truth to be made complete in us.
Jesus,
we often do not know how to pray,
So pray for us,
Pray with us,
That we may be one with you,
One with each other, and
One in ministry to the world.
Jesus,
Pray for your weak ones,
Your strong ones,
Your ones who are ill,
Your ones near death,
Your ones who breeze through life,
Your ones who struggle in life.
Jesus,
We join you in these prayers for all your people,
Amen.
