Prayer‘Who do you say I am?’ Mathew 16: 13-15

Lord Jesus,

You are a Lord who walks beside your people.

So we pray for people who walk for justice.

You are a Lord who raises up those who are bent low.

So we pray for those held down by the grindings of life

and the indifference of the world.

You are a Lord who feeds the hungry

So we pray for all who long for bread

And the means to provide it.

You are a Lord who celebrates the small and the insignificant.

So we pray for the children

And for those who are never noticed.

You are a Lord who says ‘Follow me’.

So we pray for courage and faith in our hearts

That we may take up the cross and find it leads to life.
