Weekly Prayer – 7/29/2026

Week of July 29, 2026

by Steve Richardson

God in heaven and in our midst…

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?” (Psalm 8: 3-4)

Millennia ago, the psalmist was in awe. We, too, still ponder this, as another brilliant full moon illumines tonight’s summer sky.

Through the life and resurrection of Jesus, you made it clear that you, indeed, care for us. Through the riveting manifestations of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, you affirmed with certainty that you are always with us. Through your church, you continue to bless us with a community of believers striving to help one another. We are humbly grateful.

Thank you for your grace and mercy, even when we don’t deserve either. Thank you for moments of joy, as well as memories of joy. Thank you for your love for us, and for giving us the capacity to love others. Thank you for never abandoning us. Such gifts help sustain us amid the adversities we face.

Make the presence and peace of your Spirit known to us again—especially during times of health challenges, fractured relationships, daily living insecurities, sadness, guilt, anxiety, injustice, financial hardship, loneliness, and simply being worn down and worn out by relentless pressures on us and within us.

Lord, we pray for the clergy and staff of Church Street as they lead your church amid these days of changes. Bolster their minds and hearts with your wisdom. Guide their decisions. Inspire them with insights and actions that magnify your love to members and neighbors around us.

We pray again for leaders in our communities, our state and nation. We entrust them to enable access to justice, opportunity, security and fulfillment for all people of this land. Prompt their adherence to your truths of love, compassion, mutual respect, care of neighbor, kindness, forgiveness and unselfish generosity. As Jesus has already shown, these are the truths that always prevail over evil and inequality.

God of Grace, hear and respond to these earnest prayers of others in our congregation. Hold close all represented here with your loving presence and comfort…

We pray for ….

  • A member who is mourning the loss of his sister.
  • A friend’s mother who is recovering from a stroke.
  • A friend and coworker to escape domestic violence and guidance and protection for her and her son.
  • A friend who feels overwhelmed and needs peace.
  • A member’s aunt who is hospitalized and in critical care.
  • Recovery and rebuilding efforts after a devastating tornado in Northeastern Wisconsin.

We continue to pray for …

  • A miracle for a friend’s son and his son’s relationships with his partner and children.
  • A friend to find employment with benefits.
  • A friend who feels stuck and alone.
  • A friend’s spouse who is struggling with anger and depression.
  • A friend’s brother who is feeling stressed and unwell.
  • A member’s grandmother who is entering hospice care.
  • Salvation and healing for a friend’s close relative.
  • A friend in need of healing.
  • Strength and comfort for a member as they support a sibling through a difficult time.
  • A friend’s spouse who struggles with drug addiction.
  • A member’s daughter as she begins fertility treatments.
  • Two families as they grieve a recent, tragic loss.
  • A young man who grieves the loss of someone he loves.

And now we open our minds and hearts to you, gracious God, remembering the prayer Jesus taught us:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

Holy One,

Your saints at Church Street lift their hearts together in praise and adoration of our good God. We bless your name for you are our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Lord, there is none like you, and we are in awe. Accept our worship, O God, and hear our prayers today.

We confess our sins to you for you are merciful and abounding in steadfast love. When we have asserted our own will and failed to follow yours, we confess our pride and ask for your forgiveness. When your Spirit has called us to act, but we have been too afraid to respond, we confess our fear and ask for your forgiveness. Lord, help us to seek forgiveness when we have hurt others, and give us the courage to forgive those who hurt us.

Reflecting on this day, we can see glimpses of you in our work and toil, in our conversations with others, and even in the mundane tasks of our Wednesday routines. We give thanks for friends and family who offer consolation, comfort, and care. We thank you for the beauty of your creation which reminds us how closely you attend to even the smallest details of our lives. For chores and responsibilities, commutes and deadlines, schedules and expectations, we give you thanks, O God. We are each given this one precious life, and we are grateful that you walk it with us.

We intercede now for those among us who are in need. We ask for healing as only you can give for those who are sick or in pain. For those who feel uncertain about their next steps or afraid of what they know is coming, we ask for your guidance and encouragement. Jesus, reveal to us how we can be your hands and feet. Open our eyes to see as you see, so that we may love others as you have loved us.

We offer these requests to you now:

We pray for ….

  • A miracle for a friend’s son and his son’s relationships with his partner and children.
  • A friend to find employment with benefits.
  • Peaceful rest for a friend.
  • A friend who feels stuck and alone.
  • A friend’s spouse who is struggling with anger and depression.

We give thanks for ….

And together, we pray as your son taught us, saying,

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

Weekly Prayer – 7/15/2026

Week of July 15, 2026

by Rev. Jonathan Jonas

Gracious God, we thank you for the gift of this day, and if we haven’t yet paused to acknowledge your presence today, help us to be still and to know that you are God and to know that you are near.

Pour out your Holy Spirit upon each of us to enable us to grow in gratitude, in compassion, in grace, and in love.

Your gift of love stirs us to lift up to you people who are dear to us and even dearer to you. As we pray for them, grant us grace and peace to remember that even the hairs of their heads are counted. Let them know the depth of your loving presence surrounding them in their sickness, sadness, anxiety, fear, and frustration. May your loving presence encourage them, comfort them, soothe them, and give them hope.

Give us humility—both individually and in all the ways we live in community—to prefer love over power. Give us grace to seek your image in the other, rather than seeing the worst within them.

Please give us the desire to grow in our love for you and our neighbors, the discernment to know your will for us, and the determination to live in ways that glorify you.

Let our lights shine toward Jesus, the light of the world, in whose name we pray.

Amen.

We pray for ….

  • Strength and comfort for a member as they support a sibling through a difficult time.
  • A friend’s spouse who struggles with drug addiction.
  • A member’s daughter as she begins fertility treatments.
  • Two families as they grieve a recent, tragic loss.
  • A young man who grieves the loss of someone he loves.

We continue to pray for …

  • Healing for a member’s sister and for her ability to tolerate treatment.
  • A member’s cousin and spouse as one begins a new cancer treatment.
  • A friend fighting cancer.
  • A member’s friend who has been diagnosed with cancer and waiting for further testing.
  • A friend recovering from a canine attack
  • A sister who needs peace.
  • A member grieving the loss of her sister.
  • A member waiting for test results and a treatment plan.
  • A member grieving the loss of their grandfather.

We give thanks for ….

  • A sisters’ road trip to New Orleans.

And together, we pray,

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

Weekly Prayer – 06/24/2026

 

Week of June 24, 2026

Rev. Tim Best

_________________________________

Gracious God,

In the rhythms of a full week we seek peace and hope in your midst. Settle our hearts and calm our spirits as we gather before you to offer our thanks and praise, and to seek your intercession for the needs amongst us.

Vacation Bible School enters it’s third night as this prayer is shared with our congregation. Care and guide each and every child connected to our church. Make this community a people and a place where the stories of the Bible are shared, where the lessons of scripture embodied, and even difficult lessons are taught in ways that bring children closer to you and imbue them with a love for the Bible. Give strength and stamina for all of those who work with children. May joy and purpose always fill the hearts of those who teach, guide, and mentor.

Make your peace prevail in the hearts of all people. We give thanks for the progress made towards a peaceful resolution of hostilities with Iran. We continue to pray for peace between our nations, and for peace among all the peoples of the earth. Guide the hearts and minds of the leaders of nations that your will may shape their actions. Give strength and wisdom to our state and local leaders, that justice for all prevails.

See the needs of the sick and the hurting. Care for those who are in the hospital, rehab centers, or other facilities. Nurture and provide for those who suffer alone. We pray for those who undergo regular treatments and those who are facing surgeries and procedures. Guide and direct our church family to support and assist the sick and the suffering. Sustain all of our ministries for those who are sick and in any sort of trouble.

As the final week of June stretches before us we pray for all of the change and transition in our midst and in the lives of so many in our community. We offer thanks for the ministry of Pastor Catherine. We praise you for the gifts that she shared with us and for the ways she led and served not just within our church family, but in all places where she served in ministry. We pray for Pastor Jonathan as he prepares to begin his ministry with our community. Continue to bless the ministry of Pastor Sam as he becomes a District Superintendent, and be with Pastor Carol as she begins her new appointment. Remind all of us that we are called to ministry and mission, and empower us to serve and lead as you have gifted each of us.

In trust and with hope we offer the concerns of our community to your care and provision. Receive those we list below and those that are held within our hearts.

We pray for ….

  • A little boy receiving treatment at St. Jude’s.
  • A sister unable to work due to struggles with mental illness.
  • A friend who is undergoing significant surgery this week.
  • Justice and peace in a friend’s life.
  • A friend who is healing from a deep wound and the emotional aftermath caused by a canine attack.
  • A friend whose niece is undergoing open heart surgery this week.
  • A member in the hospital suffering from two broken legs.
  • A member who will soon start rehabilitation for a knee injury.
  • Friends who are moving.
  • Friends in need of transplant surgery.
  • Loved ones suffering from cancer.
  • A friend who is getting their knee replaced.

We continue to pray for …

  • A sister in need of reconciliation and forgiveness.
  • A family who navigates the declining health of their beloved sister.
  • A friend who fractured their hip and is in the hospital.
  • A sister struggling with cancer and related illnesses.
  • Healing of body and spirit for those with long term illnesses.

We give thanks for ….

  • All the staff and volunteers who helped with Vacation Bible school, and each child who attended.

We share all these concerns trusting in Christ Jesus, our Lord, who taught us to pray, saying, Our Father….

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Weekly Prayer 06/17/2026

Week of June 17, 2026

Rev. Amber Lloyd

_________________________________

These days of summer have grown long, and we see the beauty of a bright sun in a blue sky late into the evening hours. We give thanks for birdsong, the scent of blooming flowers, and the gift of summer rain showers. Our home in East Tennessee is a beautiful representation of your glory, creativity, and wonder.

The stalwart Smoky Mountains sit on our horizon, so we cannot see the retreating glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland or the melting Arctic sea ice. Our state is not on the coast, so we don’t always notice the rising sea levels or the increasing temperature of our oceans. Our brothers and sisters in Chad, Bangladesh, and Madagascar bear the worst of the consequences of change in our climate. We see and read about their suffering, but in East Tennessee, we are far from their plight.

God, we confess that we have not always cared for your created world in the ways we ought to have done. Forgive us for over-consuming, exploiting, and ravaging the resources of our Earth. We repent of the greed that has made ours the wealthiest, most wasteful country on the planet. Help us to be mindful of the environment which we inhabit. When we hear birdsong, may we consider how we can protect those birds and their homes. When we admire the scent of blooming flowers, may we encourage their healthy proliferation and that of the bees that pollinate them. When a summer rain shower catches us by surprise, may we find ways to use less plastic and conserve energy in our homes.

You see us and know us. You have even numbered the hairs on our heads. But you have also clothed the lilies and you care for the sparrows. Knowing that your concern is for all of your creation, we boldly lift the petitions of these persons now:

We pray for ….

  • A sister in need of reconciliation and forgiveness.
  • A family who navigates the declining health of their beloved sister.
  • A friend who fractured their hip and is in the hospital.
  • A sister struggling with cancer and related illnesses.

We continue to pray for …

  • A sister who is looking for God’s guidance regarding her medical practice.
  • A brother who is seeking justice.
  • A friend’s parents who are struggling.
  • A friend’s marriage and spiritual guidance.
  • A friend’s healing of body and spirit.
  • A member who recently had a bad fall.

We give thanks for ….

  • All of God’s creation.
  • Increasing health and strength for those who are ill.

May our prayers be as fragrant incense and the lifting of our hands an evening sacrifice, O God. Together, we pray the words which your son taught us, saying

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Rev. Sam Dzobo

_________________________________

 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:3-6).

Gracious and loving God,

We come before you this day with hearts that are full. I thank you for the one year you have given me to serve at Church Street. The time has passed so quickly, like a river that does not wait. Yet even in this short season, you have woven together many friendships. You have joined my life with clergy colleagues, with the staff who labor so faithfully, and with the members of this church family. For each one of them, I give you thanks.

I thank you in a special way for the partnership in East Knoxville, for the ministry at Magnolia Avenue United Methodist Church. Thank you for the volunteers who came with open hands to serve the homeless and to welcome those on the margins. Thank you for the whole of Church Street, who lifted up this work with their prayers and their gifts. You have taught us that when we serve the least, we are serving you.

Now, O Lord, I lift up this church into your care. I do not pray only that Church Street will grow in numbers. I pray that they will grow in loving you and in loving their neighbors. Let the light of Jesus always shine through them, so that the city may see and give glory to your holy name. Bless the families who make Church Street. Keep the children, strengthen the parents, and comfort the ones who are weary or alone.

And now, O God, I ask your blessing upon my clergy colleagues and their families, upon the staff, and upon the members of this church. I pray that you would continue to transform each one of them by the power of Jesus, day after day, until his likeness is formed in them. Hold them in your grace as they are in your faithful hands.

This I pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We pray for ….

  • A sister who is looking for God’s guidance regarding her medical practice.
  • A brother who is seeking justice.
  • A friend’s parents who are struggling.
  • A friend’s marriage and spiritual guidance.
  • A friend’s healing of body and spirit.
  • The return of a neighbor’s beloved pets.

We continue to pray for …

  • Those who are grieving … may they feel the peace of God and the promise of Eternal Life.
  • A member’s neighbor who has been diagnosed with cancer.
  • A family mourning the recent loss of their daughter and for her boyfriend and his family.
  • A friend who is facing a serious surgery and the long recovery after.
  • Our military and their families.

We give thanks for ….

  • A member who received a wonderful report from CT scan!
  • The life and ministry of Rev. Catherine Nance.

Now, let us pray together the prayer Christ taught us, saying:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Those of us who claim the name Holston along with United Methodist, we thank you for a good meeting at Lake Junaluska with other United Methodists from East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and Northern Georgia.

We offer prayers for all laity and clergy as they return to their churches that they would be filled with a sense of call and purpose. We pray for our District Superintendent, Ann Robins, as she continued to shepherd the churches of the Tennessee Valley District.

We give thanks for Church Street United Methodist Church and for the commitment of members who support the ministries here with prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. May we love each other well and support one another in the varying ways we learn, pray, and serve. Thank you for the different gifts you have given to us; may those gifts be used to your glory and not for our own gain.

Gracious God, who calls us to lift every voice and sing, we give you thanks for our Parish Youth Choir and all those who have traveled with them these last days. Thank you for the testimony they shared through anthems and for the holy fellowship they encountered. Blessings to all the adults who modeled Christian leadership while on tour.

As summer begins and people travel, we may not seen one another each Sunday! We thank you for your spirit that keeps us close to you and close to each other. May we find opportunities and places to worship while travel and may we find kindred spirits, hearts, and minds.

We pray for those in our church family and for others who have asked for prayer. May they feel a sense of your presence as we lift up these concerns together ….

We offer this in the name of Jesus Christ who taught us to pray ….

Rev. Tim Best

_________________________________

Gracious God,

We give you thanks for the gifts of this day. We are thankful to come to the end of the day, carrying the burdens we have accumulated alongside the joys and blessings of today. Lift from our hearts all those things that weigh us down, and help us to see the hidden blessings that we have missed throughout the day.

We are mindful of the challenges of the world around us. We pray for harmony and unity within our community and in our nation. We pray for an end to the violence between our nation and Iran, just as we pray for the victims of violence within local communities across our country. We pray for the families of the victims of the shooting in San Diego. We pray for those whose loved ones are in faraway places and in harms way. Bring peace to places both near and far, and cure within our own hearts the bent to violence and hate we all carry.

We pray for those in any sort of suffering. Heal those who are sick, be present with the lonely, and grant a calm spirit to all those who are filled with worry and concern. Transform us, your church, into a community that is dedicated to making your love known through deed and word, here and everywhere. With trust in your love and mercy, receive these concerns from our Church street Family:

We pray for ….

  • A member who is dealing with infection after surgery. Thankful surgeon was able to remove infection. Praying that this young mother can heal well and get back to good health!
  • A family dealing with the death of their loved one from violence. Prayers for the clergyman who is ministering to them.
  • Families who observed Memorial Day remembering those who died while serving our country.

We continue to pray for …

  • Those who are grieving … may they feel the peace of God and the promise of Eternal Life.
  • Members who are going through the cycles of chemotherapy and radiation. May side effects be minimal and may the healing effects be strong!
  • Friends and family who are going through struggles.
  • For a mother in her late-eighties who is waiting on appointments with specialists to determine next steps for cancer treatment and answers for other health concerns.
  • A friend who was diagnosed with a brain tumor and has started treatment. Prayers for peace, positivity, and healing.
  • A family preparing to move out of the country; may all go smoothly and may they feel welcomed in their new community.
  • A member who is in transition after a job loss; may he find direction for next steps and resolution for past circumstances.
  • Our military and their families.
  • A couple who just brought home twins! Praying for Big Sister, also!

We give thanks for ….

  • A grandfather who is recovering after having a seizure. Thankful he is able to ‘be himself!’
  • The blessing of a family selected for adoption.

We offer these concerns with a fervent trust in the one who taught us to pray, saying,

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
