Prayer, day 2768: For God's protection


Loving God,
spread the tent of your protection 
over us today. Guide us with your loving, almighty hand
that we may walk in your paths with integrity.

We fervently thank you for our abundant blessings:
help us to spend our time numbering them
rather than our worries.
Bring us within your enclosure,
that we may abide there forever,
rejoicing that we are your own.

Embrace us, Loving One,
despite our manifold faults,
for we seek to be worthy of You.
Let our lives sing out
a testimony of your love and faithfulness,
your compassion and your forgiveness.
Help us to speak in love, never in anger;
help us to act with charity and forthrightness
to all we meet today.

Hear our prayers
as we remember these, your beloved children,
in their petitions and thanksgivings.


Amen.
