1 Chronicles 28:20

20 David also said to Solomon his son,
“Be strong and courageous, and do the work.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God,
my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake
you until all the work for the service of the temple
of the LORD is finished.


Today's Prayer...


Our great God,
still hidden and yet so evident and near, we thank you that
you are at work in us before we think of asking. We thank
you that you hold us by the hand and lead us before we are
aware of it. Stay with us in this way and awaken our hearts
at the right moment, that we are not surprised by the painful
things we experience but can be prepared at all times to watch
and pray, trusting that we are not forsaken in the constant
strife on this earth. Grant us hope, O God, that the time is
coming when all people will hear the proclamation,
“See, a new heaven and a new earth, because you have
learned to see God’s honor in everything.”

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

Amen.

Revelation 22:17

17 The Spirit and the bride say,
“Come!” And let the one who hears say,
“Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take the
free gift of the water of life.


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,
grant that we may come into your presence as your children.
Give to us all that we need each day, so that we are no
longer caught in the turmoil of life but can receive your
peace. For you care for us as your children, and we are
allowed to go confidently through all the troubles of these
times because our way leads to you, the eternal Father in
heaven. Keep us from going astray and from spending our
efforts on what is temporal and cannot last. Let your light
strengthen us in what is of heaven, in what is eternally
true for our lives. 

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

Amen.

Psalm 103:1 - 5

1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being,
praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with
love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that
your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,
we wait in expectation. Even in the great distress on earth,
we wait in longing for your day to come, for the pangs of
death to pass, so that your kingdom may arise and the reign
of Jesus Christ may spread over the whole world in power
and glory. May your promise be fulfilled and your will be done
on earth. May there always be people who believe and who
pray in faith, “Lord God, come! Come, Lord God. Humankind
does not understand how to live. Send us Jesus Christ,
the Savior, Lord, and Judge of the dead and the living.
Put an end to sin and death!” We thank you for giving us
this faith and for letting us pray at all times,
“Come, Lord Jesus. Yes, come soon, Lord Jesus!” We ask you
to protect us in this faith. Bring this faith to fulfillment
for the glory of your name.

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

Amen.

2 Timothy 1:7

7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,
but gives us power, love and self-discipline.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
help us in these days that are so difficult for us. Help us never to
lose our expectation of the time that is to come, the time of
Jesus Christ, Lord of heaven and earth. Strengthen us, we pray,
and strengthen those all over the world who have to endure great
suffering, especially the destitute and the dying. May your heavenly
hosts come down to the many who are in misery, so that your
name is praised in life and in death, in whatever we have to go
through. For we shall praise you, no matter what happens now
or in the days ahead. May your glory remain in our hearts, with
the joy that you, O God, are the Father of all.

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

Amen.

Ecclesiastes 3:14

14 I know that everything God does will endure forever;
nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it.
God does it so that people will fear him.

Today's Prayer...


Lord God,
we thank you for giving us light here on earth, where it is so often
completely dark. But in the darkness the name of Jesus Christ shines
out as the prophetic Word: “Be comforted. After darkness comes light,
after night comes day!” We thank you for this light. In joy we thank
you, for we have experienced that Jesus lives and comes to meet
each one, bringing victory over enemy powers. In the name of
Jesus Christ and in his name alone we ask you to remember the
needs of our time. We do not want anything that comes from ourselves.
We do not want any earthly peace. We want your peace, Lord God, the
peace in which everything becomes new, born anew even in suffering,
to the eternal glory of your name. 

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

Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:25

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,
and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
we thank you with all our hearts that Jesus Christ still lives today
and that we may believe in him and call upon him as our Savior.
We thank you for him who sees to the depths of our human
misery and calls right into the midst of it, “Do not be afraid.
I am with you. I live. I am your helper. No matter how insignificant
you are, fear not, for I, Jesus Christ, shine into all the darkness,
even into the darkness of sin and death, into all the judgment
that has fallen or is still to come upon everyone on Earth.”
Praise to your name, Lord our God! You are great and almighty
and beyond our understanding. But you have sent us the Savior
whom we can understand, and we rejoice that we may have
community with him in your presence

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

Amen.

Acts 5:20

20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” He said,
“and tell the people all about this new life.”


Today's Prayer...


We thank you, Lord our God,
How much good you have poured out on us throughout our lives!
And how much we should thank you every day! We thank you that
again and again we feel your help and know that you can fill our
earthly life with what is of heaven. May your kingdom come over
the whole world, for all people are longing for faith and for mercy
and are to be gathered into your house under the staff of the
Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Watch over us during the night. May
your help go far and wide into the whole world. Stand by those who
call upon you, even when they do not understand how they should
pray. Help us and grant that the Savior may come, to the
glory of Your name.

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

Amen.

Jonah 2:6

6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,
we thank you that we are your children and that your eyes watch
over us and see all that is in our hearts. You hear the request of
each heart, and you will answer at the right time. Stretch out your
strong hand to us, for we are weak and often heavy-hearted,
not knowing what to do nor how to find you. But you are with us
in every need in spite of all our faults and shortcomings. You are
with us; you lead us through everything to our life’s true goal,
until each of us can rejoice over all you have done, to the praise
of your name, our Father.

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

Amen.
