Deus Misereatur

  O LORD you are a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you (Psalm 9:9-10). It is to you we come to focus our prayers: We implore you to maintain your church in all places, including this congregation, as well as Lakeside UMC, Mayfair Heights UMC, New Covenant UMC, and Nichols Hills UMC. Bring unity to your church where there is division; establish order where there is disorder; restore faithfulness where there is infidelity; reestablish godliness where there is impiety; reinstate the Gospel where there is legalism; and reestablish forgiveness where there are grudges. Hear our Prayer, O Lord! We implore you for the nations of the world, including Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. Since national entities often think more highly of themselves than they ought, and seek to place themselves above you, and above justice, and above...

  O LORD you are a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

[This whole prayer is from Psalm 9]  We will give thanks to you, O LORD, with our whole heart; we will recount all of your wonderful deeds. We will be glad and exult in you; we will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Now lifting our hearts in confidence of who you are, hear us as we pray for your Church, your world, our worries and our ways. O Lord, hear our prayer. When our enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence. For you have maintained our just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. We thank you, Holy God because you do care for your people, and by sending your Son in our full humanity, who died for our transgression, was raised for our justification, he destroyed him who had the power of death...
