Prayer 2545

Most Merciful God, 
we praise You,
and give thank for your blessings and care.
Early in the morning
let our prayers arise 
as we seek the wisdom of the Lord of Life,
who calls us to hope and healing. 
At noonday, let us pause,
and center ourselves within your grace
that we be led my compassion and mercy,
O Marvelous Counselor.
May the works of our hands
be dedicated to the building of your over kingdom, O God, 
through the imitation of Christ.
At evening-tide,
grant us that peace that surpasses all knowing,
so that we can lie down at rest,
knowing your hand is upon us, O Creator. 
In all we do, may we be led by charity and hope,
by the power of love and compassion
sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And now, O Almighty One,
give your angels charge over those whom we pray,
that they be sustained by the knowledge of your steadfast love.

Amen.
