Prayer, day 1938

Almighty God, we praise and bless your Holy Name today.
You have searched us out and known us, each by each:
let us be still, and feel the kiss of God upon our brows.
Our Shepherd carries us upon his shoulders:
Our Savior has freed us with His steadfast heart.
Our wandering hearts find shelter and solace within You, Most Holy God:
You revive our spirits with your tender mercy.

O Loving God, we call upon You from the morning light to the setting sun:
You hear our whispered prayers from our beds.
Send your Spirit to shade us through your grace
and encourage us in your paths, O Holy One.
Extend the hand of thy blessing over those we now name.

Amen.
