Prayers of the People
Be Silent,
be still,
alone,
empty before God.
Say nothing,
ask nothing.
may your God look upon you.
That is all,
God knows,
God understands.
God loves you with an enormous love.
God only wants to look upon you with love.
Quiet,
be still,
let your God love you. Amen.

God, may we understand what you want from each one of us, and give us the power, the will, and the strength to carry it out.
We pray for our church as we prepare to reopen. As we prepare to elect our new bishop, and we pray for that person as he/she prepares.
In all humility, for the high office.
We pray for all who are suffering, and we pray for the caregivers.
"Come Holy Ghost our souls inspire, and lighten with celestial fire, Thou the anointing Spirit art, who dost Thy seven fold gifts impart."
(Hymn CP 637)
