Prayers of the People November 24, 2024
These are the Prayers of the People that will be used during church this week. We encourage you to use them as part of your personal prayers this week.
Please respond to the prayers with “and graciously hear us.”
Christ the King, we exalt you this morning, thanking you coming to earth and testifying to the truth. May we give you the honor and worship you deserve, by listening to you and obeying your Word.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.
Lord, help us to see you in those whom society considers the lowest. Guide us as we invest our resources of time, talent and money in meeting their needs. May those who receive food through Feed My Sheep glorify you for your provision.
Lord, have mercy and graciously hear us.
