God of all our days, thank you for another Monday in our lives. We pray that it’s a day that goes easy on us. Today is International Epilepsy Day and we pray for all of us who live with Epilepsy. We pray for the researchers and the neuro-scientists who are making strides in treatment and cures. Grant them creativity, perspective, and plant a new possibility within them. Keep our loved ones safe and help us to learn more about it. God be with us all. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Comforting God, as we come to you in prayer, we realize the world is a crazy place. Be in the chaos and may we find you at work. Today we think of the farmers in our community and around the world. They work so hard and maybe do not receive the thank you’s that we might offer for them in our prayers. God, as we celebrate Canada’s Agriculture Day, help us to support our local farmers and to find ways to do so in most of our days. Bring us together as a community to learn and grow about their work near and far. In the name of your greatest Love, Jesus. Amen.

God of intellect, as we think about today being “Darwin Day,” help us to use our minds to be curious about our faith and the world. Where we are challenged by others in our beliefs and faith, help us to remember how our faith has evolved just as humans have. How Biblical stories and history and science do weave together though Creation stories may look a little different in timing. Bring us hope that we have more and more intellectual people in the pews challenging us to own what we think and believe. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Thank you, God, for this day. Today we focus on giving thanks for all that we have and all that we’ve received in life. We’re grateful for our friends and families, for shelter and food, for pets and wildlife, and for you, O God. Thank you for challenging us to be different in our world. Thank you for giving us risk-taking hearts that, even if they bungle up in stress during the process, the result of taking the risk is most often beautiful. Keep giving us courage. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Gracious God, thank you for love in our lives. Be it people, or food, or books, or music, or whatever… thank you for that which brings us joy and warms our hearts. May we take the time to let someone know how much they mean to us and what they add to our lives. Grant us the time and space to love ourselves – repeating it a few times while we look in the mirror. Help us to be kind to ourselves and those around us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

God of rising stars and growing leaders, be in our young people today. Encourage them to be eager to get out into the world to go to church or their activities that are scheduled. May they connect with friends and families in various ways today and take time to rest their minds. Be with those who are raising them, granting them grace, patience, perseverance, and creativity to do this important task in our world. Be with us all. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Holy God, as we prepare to worship today, we officially welcome a few more new members into our church family. We pray that they feel connected in many ways beyond our worship services. May those who are thinking of joining the church reach out and may we find some new and creative ways to do various things to serve our community. We trust you, O God, to be within all of our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
