Holy Gospel Matthew 6:25-34 NIV
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Prayers of the Church
November 9, 2025
Almighty God and Father, You sent Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ,
to overcome the world for us through His cross and resurrection.
Grant us grace and peace to Him, that whatever troubles, tribulations, and temptations afflict us in this world of sin and sorrow, we may never forget You nor forsake You.
Strengthen us by Your grace, that we may bear our crosses in patience and trust,
and remain faithful in Christ Jesus, until He comes again in glory. Lord, in Your mercy,
O Lord our God, You are forever faithful to Your promises.
Thank You that You have received Jackson Arthur Beam, son of James and Julia,
and David Ryan Obkircher, son of Thomas and Alma,
as children in Christ through the waters of Baptism.
By Your Spirit, enable them to respond in faith to the Gospel.
Give them strength to endure trials and make their lives fruitful in service to You.
Lord, in Your mercy,
Lord Jesus, Your mercies are new every morning.
We thank You for celebrations in our congregation.
Thank You for 19 years of marriage for Ryan and Carla Martin.
Thank You for 103 years of life You have blessed F. Ros Vogelgesang.
Open our hearts and hands to respond in gratitude for Your many blessings,
and to proclaim Your goodness to our friends and family around us. Lord, in Your mercy,
Eternal Father, strong to save,
we thank You for those who serve in our armed forces.
We pray for Your protection and provision for our friends and family in the armed forces: Wyatt Alford, Royel Augustine, Sarah M. Baermann, Alondra Beltran, Sydney Bender, Landon Carter, Connor Dudley, AJ Esser, Bryan Farrell, George Fairchild, Nate Hartman, Brendan B. Reina, Justin Smith, and Cameron Wegener.
Hear our gratitude for those who have served in the past,
and those who have laid down their lives to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.
For those who suffer from PTSD and injuries from their service,
we pray for pain relief, for sustenance, and for healing. Lord, in Your mercy,
Almighty Father, the physical and mental ills with which Your people struggle
are not beyond Your power or grace.
Bless the sick with healing according to Your will, bless the suffering with relief,
bless the grieving with comfort, and bless the dying with peace.
We pray for the sick and recovering…
for Mark Benkendorf, Norma Burkett, Mike Farina, Libby Markworth, Joyce Nelson, David Rhodes, Ann Wheat, Jon Zimmerman, those names written in our prayer lists, and, in our hearts…
We pray for the grieving…
for the family and friends of Lauri Allen,
for the family and friends of Oscar Tschopp, father of Leona.
for the family and friends of Bernard Zemmol, father of Lloyd.
We trust in Your good and gracious will to grant us all things needful for this body and life to keep us amid all these afflictions. Lord, in Your mercy,
Heavenly Father, we remember before You those who suffer
from worry and anxiety because of unemployment.
Provide open doors and new paths, that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment,
and receive just payment for their labor. Lord, in Your mercy,
All these things and whatever else You know that we need,
grant us, Father, for the sake of Him who died and rose again,
and now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever. Amen.
