Bolivia - Prayer Ventures
For the church
Merciful God, we thank you for the Lutheran Church in Bolivia and the mission
established there in the name of your Son where Christianity continues to grow.
Bless the Lutherans in Bolivia and in our country as we work together to spread
the Good News about your love and compassion.
For current needs
Gracious God, we pray for everyone in Bolivia as they seek ways to find
meaningful work to support their families and to contribute to the well-being of
their communities. Strengthen them in their efforts and help them in their
struggle to live their lives with dignity and justice.
For those serving
Great and loving God, we ask for your support and strength for all your servants
in Bolivia. Empower them in their ministries of compassion and service to the
poor. Aid them as they assist with the development of farming, health and
education programs. Help them to be your living examples of your love for all
people.
For global relationships
God of compassion, we give thanks for your children all across the earth and for
the opportunities we have to develop more personal relationships with our global
Christian neighbors. We are grateful for the opportunity to reach out to our
Bolivian brothers and sisters through prayer and communication, that we might
find new meaning in these global connections. Strengthen us in that ministry and
help us reach out in a mission of peace.
For church leadership
God of Wisdom, your insight and guidance fill our lives. Show us new ways to
understand your power and presence within us. Thank you for the church in
Bolivia and for those who continue to share your message. Help those preaching
and ministering to the members of the church, that they might understand and
share the Holy Gospel in order to strengthen your ministry in Bolivia.
For open hearts
God our Creator, you make all people part of your family. You make all that is
good in our lives and fill us with your everlasting love. Bless us as we learn
more about our sisters and brothers in Bolivia. Help us to embrace our common
blessing in serving you. Open our eyes to the gifts you give us in each other.
Guide us to build bridges between our cultures and our churches. We ask these
things in the name we name together, your precious Son, Jesus Christ.
