Prayer, day 1720

A detail from a window in the chapel of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Webster Groves, MO.

O God, all that we have and all that we are
we offer for your service and glory:
let us renew our hearts and minds to dwell in You. 

Help us to accept and welcome
the cost of following you, Lord Jesus, in our daily lives and work.
Let us live our lives in joyful praise of all God has done for us,
and love and serve each other in amity and peace.
Keep us steadfast and true
in walking in your wisdom, O Holy Spirit. 

Refresh our souls and restore our hearts, O Holy One,
and unite us to each other in love
as we pray for all whose hope is in You.

Amen.
