Psalm 23:6


6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the
days of my life, and
I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, may your grace rule in our hearts and your
love come to us in glorious fulfillment of your promise, so
that in our time we may have community with one another
to praise and worship you. Then we will be a people belonging
to you and receiving help from you. Bless your Word within us,
we pray. Teach us again and again how to keep your Word,
how to be your children in deed and in truth. May we be given
strength of heart whenever great sorrow comes to us. Let your
will be revealed everywhere. Let all of humankind know that
you rule, that you help us and will remain with us into all eternity.
For our names are recorded with you, and we want to stay with you,
Father in heaven. We want nothing else but to be your children in this
world, to be children in your care for all eternity.

John 14:2-4


2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so,
would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a
place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and take you to be with me that you also
may be where I am.
4 You know the way to the place
where I am going.”



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, bless us, that the world may be blest. Help us,
that the whole world may be helped. Grant us your mercy in Jesus Christ,
who laid down his life for the whole world. May it soon be revealed
that your kingdom stands and will bring our age to an end, a good
and blessed end. Grant your blessing on every aspect of our lives,
on all the concerns and requests we have on our hearts, and help us
to praise and thank you every day. Let your will become known
everywhere in spite of the horror and blasphemy, so that even the
dying may glorify you and all who have to suffer may praise and
thank you because they see your face and recognize your light.
We want to entrust everything to you, Lord God. We await you.
We rejoice and thank you, for we know your will shall be done.
We know and believe that your name shall be glorified.

In the Name of the Most Holy we pray in Jesus' Name

Amen.

Lord our God, you are our refuge. We wait for you,
for your purpose will never fail and your promise will

hope and believe and endure until your day comes.
Your kingdom will come on earth, and in the meantime
you are watching over your people. In the midst of the
world's daily affairs there will be people who hope in
you, who belong to you, and who are firmly rooted
in the grace of Jesus Christ until the time is fulfilled.

Nahum 1:3

3 The LORD is slow to anger but great in power;
the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and
clouds are the dust of his feet.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, we stand before you and rejoice that you
want to be our Helper, our Father. We live in a dark and evil
time when whole nations groan and lament. Our need rises
to you in heaven, and we cry out, "Help us, Lord our God!"
Help that your will may be done in all things and that your
kingdom may come. Our task is to pray to you at all times,
calling, "Come, O Lord God, in Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior
of all the world!" For in east and west, in south and north,
among all nations, Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Praise to your
name that you have given us this Lord.

In the Name of the Most Holy we pray in Jesus' Name

Lord our God, we come to you poor and yet rich, weak

fulfilled in Jesus Christ, our dear Lord and Savior. Let the
time come when the heavens open and a new light shines
