Intercessory prayer
For two voices and congregation
What are you doing?
I’m planting seeds!
Wherever we fi nd devastation and hopelessness:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
Wherever we meet fear and anxiety:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
When we fi nd people who want to give up:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
When people want to learn:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
When people don’t want to learn:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
Make us workers with you, Lord,
in your project of creation:
help us to plant seeds;
make us nurturers of fertile ground.
Amen.
