Prayer 540


O God, Your glory gilds the morning skies, and we give thanks for your goodness and mercy. 
Guide us along the paths of righteousness, that we glorify your Name in the world. 
Ground us in your word and truth, O Master, for we know that you call us to work for justice, generosity, and peace. 
Give us the grace to offer shelter to the stranger among us and to love our neighbors as ourselves. 
Guard us from all evil from without or within, O Loving One, for we are prone to wander. 
Govern us in gentleness, for all like sheep we go astray, yet our cry is always to You. 
Gentle us to do your will, and soften our stubborn and wayward hearts. 
Grant your peace and benediction to all who call upon You.

Amen.
