Prayer 823

Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son

Almighty and everliving God: we thank You for bringing us through the shadows and shoals of night and setting us safely upon the bright shore of this day. We stand in awe of your generous love, and offer You our worship, praise and honor. 

Holy One, we thank You for the everyday saints You have placed in our lives: parents, friends, guides, mentors, healers, confidants, and sages. We thank You for the compassion and generosity that knits us together, and pray that we grow deeper in your Wisdom. 

Make us devout tenders of the love that has been entrusted us, and may we add fuel to that holy fire in all we do, inspired by the Spirit. Guide us this day to be joyful servants of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, serving each other in constancy and tenderness. Pour out your blessing of healing and mercy over all who lift their hopes to You.

Amen.
