Prayer, day 2690

Painting of St. Columba

Almighty God,
we raise our hearts to You in thanks and praise, 
and ask your blessing upon this day. 

Bless those who labor,
that they may be blessed with rest and security
after their toil for us all. 

Bless those who seek to heal:
inspire their hands and minds;
guide their skill and reason
to bring comfort to the suffering. 

Bless those who doubt,
who engage their faith and God-given reason
to seek deeper knowledge of You. 

Bless those who take up their strength and power
to determine to use it for the common good
and love of neighbor. 

Bless those who mourn,
and may those who can bring them peace
be willing to act out of love and compassion. 

We pray to You, Lord Jesus,
for the particular needs and cares of these thy children.

Amen.
