Liturgies are meant to draw us into an encounter with God, strengthen our faith, and renew our commitment to establish His kingdom in our time. Here you will find liturgies intended to address different cultural, spiritual, or quotidian anxieties you may be facing, and to redirect our hearts, minds, and language toward truth. In these troubling days we live in, we are not a people who have reason to despair. We believe that God has given us truth, wisdom, and encouragement in His Word that we can recite, repeat, and meditate on—individually and corporately—that will fill us and equip us for every good work. As a practice of counter-formation, savor these words and the Scripture they’re based on to continually cultivate hope in your heart. We pray that these liturgies draw you ever deeper into the glorious and constant love of Christ. ~The Creative Team at Church of the City New York index A Liturgy for Those Battling Fear A Liturgy for Those Consumed by Media A Liturgy for Those Worried for Their Physical Health A Liturgy for Those Concerned for Loved Ones A Liturgy for Those Who Feel Stuck A Liturgy for Those Who Mourn a Loss A Liturgy for Those Falling Asleep A Liturgy for Those Contemplating Mortality A Liturgy for Those Struggling with Food A Liturgy for Those Struggling to Believe A Liturgy for Those Looking for Joy A Liturgy for Healthcare Workers A Liturgy for Those Struggling with Secret Sin A Liturgy for Those Who Have Not Belly Laughed Recently A Liturgy for Those Crying Out for Justice *&nbsp;Want More?Check out church.nyc for links to more content from Church of the City New York.

You remember that we are made of dust and breath,and how our unnaturally natural tendency is to cower in the dark places of our minds,pointing fingers at one another, forgetting the shadow of safety you offer under your wings, wide enough to hold us all. Our groaning is not hidden from you, O Holy Father.Do not ignore our weeping criesand quaking kneesand besieged hearts.For you alone hold power to pull us from the miry pit,the one from which fear has stolen our ladder. How long, O God?When will we see your goodness in the land of the living? Remind us, Jesus, that you lay sleeping in the boatin the middle of the storm at sea.You are neither surprised nor distressed by the mounting chaos.You are not a God who panics. O Christ, who defeated the sting of death upon the cross, be nearand calm the sea within us with one word, so that we may then comfort otherswith the same comfort you give to us.Out of your lovingkindness you do not condemn our fear,but rather call us into something far more magnificent:wild, glorious trust in the One who holds the whole world together. Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.

O Loving God, you see the gravity with which the world’s suffering pulls us inward.Extend us grace to grieve for the broken world you adore,then wash our faces and turn, clear-eyed, to our windows,through which we can see the trees still clappingthe sparrows still flyingthe stones still crying out praise to you. Grant us wisdom to discern what you deem trueand rightand nobleand pureand praiseworthyand lovely,and give us grace to share accordingly.Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.

Our interior selves become children afraid of the dark, covers pulled up to our noses, eyes darting from shadow to shadow, flinching at every sound, until we are certain there is a monster in the closet or a bad guy on the stairs. O God, may our minds not run away with what-ifs or irrational fears. Help us breathe, wait, and listen to the bodies you formed from the dust of the ground and the breath of your nostrils. Help us observe our symptoms (or lack thereof) correctly. Help us discipline our minds to not despair at worst case scenarios, but instead, to accurately interpret our current moment, seeking your wisdom for the next rational step. May we trust you with our bodies that creak and groan with mortality.May our physical fragility remind us of our dependence on You. May we rejoice in our weakness, knowing that you are strong. May we develop a robust courage that does not fear our weakening bodies.May we look forward to the day when we will receive everlasting bodies and be reunited with you.God, you are the One who forgives our sins and heals us of disease. We ask for physical healing when we need it,for a correct perspective of the brevity of sickness in light of eternity,for deep joy to well up in our souls because we know we are secure,for hearts that look forward to boundless shalom.

Are not our loved ones more valuable than they? How marvelous that you have given us others to love.But Lord, with this great love comes sorrow upon sorrow,as we confront each other’s mortalityand bodies broken since the exit from Eden. Remind us, Jesus, that for those who know you,no sickness ends in death.You always live to intercede for us,so increase our faith to believe you do the same for our peoplewhen we cannot.Multiply our hours and energy to serve our familieswith an attitude of humility and selflessness,and help us to love from a place without fear.For we know:There is no fear in love.There is no fear in loveThere is no fear in love.We ache for those far away,whom we cannot embrace the way we want to.We grieve for those we love who live alone,whose tears we cannot dry with our sleeves.We lament for those prone to sickness,whom we ask that you anoint with your healing touch,O God of Mercy.We mourn for those precious ones who do not know you yet,in front of whom we will continually exalt your praises andserve and love ever deeper.We rejoice in the knowledge that one day,when sin and sickness and sorrow subside,we will love and know each other as we are fully loved and known.Until then, Gracious God, help us to care for our loved oneswholeheartedly and freely,trusting that the One who counts the sparrowswill hold them fast.Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.

But, O Savior, how do we wash another’s feetwhen we cannot touch? Where our understanding falters,where our knowledge dwindles,where our expertise ends,O Lord, you meet us there.Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our pathwhen we cannot see the next right step.O Loving God, you have said this is your will:to be joyful alwaysto pray continuallyto give thanksto do justiceto love kindnessto walk humbly with you.Our portion is you and your redemptive work. Show us how to be your ambassadors to this hurting world.Teach us how to use our hands and resources when words fall short.Define your ministry of reconciliation for each of us, Jesus.Bless those who have not the time or privilege of feeling stuck:those on medical frontlinesthose stocking shelvesthose teaching their childrenthose caring for the vulnerablethose turning the gears of our beloved city.

O Christ, you do not scorn our disappointment,but rather remind us that you are a God who was enrobed in human fleshand has felt salt run down your own divine face. O, how glorious! How wonderful to have a Savior who understands! Hope deferred makes our hearts sick,so we ask that you remind us, O Sweetest Friend,that what we grieve –the canceled eventthe lost jobthe health of a loved one or ourselvesthe paused relationshipthe postponed tripthe end of a project that stirred our hearts –was never the source of our hope to begin with.You say we are blessed when we mourn, for we shall be comforted.Come near and be our deepest consolation now, Father.Tend to our grief-stricken hearts, and lead us into the warmth of your relief,the tenderness of your word,the marrow-deep peace of your presence,the greater intimacy we can enjoy with our Suffering Savior. We mourn for the loss and death of our good dreams, O Creator,and ask that you resurrect them, if your gracious will allows.But for now, we look toward the daywhen every tear will be goneand we meet you, the One in whom all our hope resides.Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.

The troubles of my heart have multiplied,but I lay each one at the feet of the Onewho never slumbers.O God of Refuge, you are greater than mybuzzing thoughtsand caffeinated veinsand unchecked listsand regrets from a day in which I feel I did nothing great for you.I do not earn my sleep, but rather receive it like a childfrom you, Abba, who calls me Beloved. The predictability of sleep falters now,but I rest in the One who is the same yesterday, tonight, and forever.Remind me, O Christ, that you will finish what I have left undone.I lay under the starry hosts that you call by name,and trust that when I awake, I am still with you. O Great Shepherd, thank you for leading this worn bodybeside quiet waters,for asking me to cease striving.Tonight, lead me in the way everlasting,so when I awake, I can love my neighborsand serve your worldwith readinessand vigorand rested love.Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.

We feel it now more than ever, O Lord.Unrest and uncertainty reveal to us thatyou are sovereign and we are not.Our bodies groan with sickness and fear,longing to die so we can be reborn. Who will deliver us from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Though our bodies are perishable,they will be raised imperishable. Though we are sown in weakness,we will be resurrected by the power of the Spirit. Holy Father, may the knowledge of our mortality not terrify us. Instead, may this unveiling relieve us to remember that we depend on You.Though our bodies will expire, help us fix our eyes on what is unseen. We are at your mercy, O God.Thank you for this opportunity to remember our humanity. We need your help, God,to rejoice in everlasting hope, to persevere through temporary suffering, to be unceasing in prayer. With faithful trembling, we know that the perishable cannot inherit the imperishable. This is certainly a mystery, but though our bodies diewe will not be swallowed up by death.We will all be changed.

For those triggered by a lack of control to return to disordered eating,you are safe and you are seen.For those who eat to assuage a troubled heart, there is a comfort beyond what food can give. For those who feel like they cannot escape from their thoughts, there is freedom in the Spirit who quiets our hearts.For those who feel like they keep failing, there is abundant grace to stumble and fall. O God, in this unprecedented time wherewe feel out of controland struggle to manage unstructured timeand have access to our pantries at all hours,help us to care for our Temples with your kindness. Prompt us to seek help when we need it.Teach us to nourish our bodies when we feel ashamed of them. Help us turn away from the deceptive voice of lonelinessand run to you as our true friend and companion. When we are disgusted by our appetites, help us embrace and accept our hunger with gentleness. When we are threatened by food, help us remember that food is not the enemy.When we are tempted to starve ourselves, help us to ask you for the courage to be filled. When we are tempted to eat too much,help us pause, breathe, and acknowledge that we are satisfied in you.When we turn to food for comfort, help us acknowledge our spiritual hunger and surrender our emptiness to you. May we pull our struggles and shame into the light, sharing our burdens with one another and receiving the help we can’t find alone. O God, you satisfy us as with the richest of foods. Thank you for providing our daily bread. We have tasted and seen that you are good. May everything we eat bring glory to you.May we choose foods that give nourishment and delight.May we eat slowly, savoring the gifts of taste and flavor.May we swallow with gratefulness, receiving strength and energy with joy.May we eat in community, trusting that food is enjoyed more at your table with your people.May we celebrate fullness, knowing that it is you who provides.May we fill our bodies, our minds, and our souls with good things.May we hunger and thirst for righteousness, knowing we will be filled.Amen. * Scripture referenced in this liturgy: Each of these liturgies was prayerfully written based on the promises of God in Scripture.
