Prayer 1777


Most Merciful God,
the curtain of the night parts,
and we rise to give thanks for this new day
to serve You with joy.

May we remember we are ever in your sight,
and seek to walk humbly in your ways,
keeping our feet firmly in the path
of gratitude, faith, and mercy.
Take us by the hand O God,
and preserve us from evil,
reminding us that the foundation of true peace
is laid upon the Rock of Our Salvation,
upon the gospel of mercy and truth.

May we embrace each other
in the spirit of healing, wisdom, and compassion
that our Lord Jesus Christ embodies,
and dedicate ourselves to following his example.
O God, we offer You our devotion:
sustain us and bless us with the light of your hope,
and grant strength, relief, and perseverance
to those for whom we pray.

Amen.
