Prayer, day 1991

Almighty God,
whose mercy enfolds us and keeps us,
accept our hearts and praises, we pray.

Set us high above the tumult
and place us in the shelter of your might,
for You are our Redeemer and our Shield.

Guide us into deeper knowledge of You, O Holy One
 and teach us to walk in love always.

Help us to forgive those who hurt us,
as we seek, ourselves, to be forgiven.

Ease the hearts of those who suffer any anxiety or pain,
and embrace those who weep, O Comforter.

Pour out your healing grace
over all those whose needs we lay before You, Lord Christ, as we pray.

Amen.
