Deacon Prayer

God of wonder and awe,

Hear now our prayers.

When we are over-worked,
Hear our prayers when we are tired; too tired to say them aloud.

When we are long-suffering,
Hear our prayers when we are weary; too weary to know what those prayers might be.

When we argue,
Hear our prayers when we are frustrated; that they might be clear to you.

When things go our way,
Hear our prayers when we are joyful; that they might bring joy to your ears.

When we rejoice in you,
Hear our prayers when we celebrate; that you might celebrate with us.

God, hear our prayers as we move through our week, no matter what kind of prayer they might be.

Amen.
