Prayer 1959: Inspired by Matthew 14:22-36


Most Merciful God,
who is making the heavens and the earth,
we center our hearts within your loving-kindness,
and rise to give you thanks at the dawning of the day.

In times of storm and tempest,
when we are tossed about,
let us always see you walking alongside us, Beloved Savior,
our steadfast companion in all our ways.
Your love, Blessed Jesus, sets our feet upon solid ground;
you strengthen us to walk, through faith, alongside you.
You are our solid rock, O Holy One:
let us serve you in joyful anticipation and hope,
hearing your loving call above the howling of the wind,
the light of your countenance guiding us in the darkness,
bidding us to love, not fear.

Spirit of the Living God,
lead us to wisdom and truth,
that we may be a blessing to others today.
Guide your people in integrity, compassion, and holiness,
and grant your peace to those we now name.

Amen.
