Thank you for all who support us

John 15:12-15

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 

You are my friends if you do what I command. 

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Lord God, 

who speaks to us in the still small voice,

who whispers in the silence,

who is the unseen presence

when we most need support,

thank you for friends,

for colleagues, 

for acquaintances,

for all who support us

whether we know it or not

in ways we can scarcely guess at.

 

Thank you for that great cloud of witnesses,

sisters and brothers here on earth,

sisters and brothers who worship you in heaven,

who surround us,

uphold us,

succour us,

sustain us.

Those who hold us in their hearts

and in their thoughts

and lift us to you in prayer

that we might know your blessing

at their petition.

 

Thank you for their faithfulness,

for their love for us,

for their concern and commitment

that leads them to hold us in prayer

before your Throne,

that we might know

your help and sustenance

in all our need,

Amen
