Most gracious God:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit ...

    Your Son, our Lord Jesus, has prayed for us.  Let his prayer be answered, that we may be protected, that we may be one in our love for you, that we may glorify your name before all people. 
God in your mercy ...
***
    Help us more effectively be your means by which this world is transformed, that the beauty of its created image may be restored and enhanced.  God in your mercy ...
***
    Help us humble ourselves before your mighty hand, that we may glorify you in simple, low-key, faithful ways.  God in your mercy ...
***
    Keep us steadfast in prayer, that our impulsive nature may be curbed, replaced by your holy will.  God in your mercy ...
***
    We pray for all who suffer, particularly those who suffer as a result of loving and serving you.  Grant them steadfast endurance; support, restore, strengthen and establish them, according to the promise of your Word.  God in your mercy ...
***
    Protect us, as Jesus prayed for us, that we may be safe from the wiles of the evil one. 
God in your mercy ...
