Prayer for Proper 10B/Ordinary 15B/Pentecost 7

Lord, its all yours; this earth, this universe,

All of us. We are all yours.

And we praise your name for the beauty of it all.

We come seeking a deeper relationships with you God.

We come wanting to know you better, and

Wanting to know you better.

And so we come to worship,

come to listen and come to pray.

We ask that you hear our prayers;

Hear the cry of the needy,

fill their hearts with your love.

Hear the cry of the hungry,

Fill their bellies with food.

Hear the cry of the lonely,

Fill their lives with friendships.

Hear the cry of those who are grieving,

Fill their souls with your presence.

Lord, we would love to dance like David

Before you, but some of us are handicapped,

Some are stiffened by arthritis,

 weakened by neurological or muscular diseases,

some of us are tired from our work, and

some of us are burdened down with problems and stress.

Lord we pray for that day when we not only get to feast at your heavenly banquet,

But also for the day when we get to dance like David.

Amen
