Prayers

Lord, on days that I awaken refreshed, may I give You thanks for the gift of peaceful rest ; And when there is pain of any kind to bear, by Your nearness and comfort may I be blessed.

Lord, may Your grace enable me to be steadfast in the desire to serve You, seeking holy purpose, not just in prayer, sut even in the small tasks that I do.

In this time of changing seasons, O Lord, help me to see Where and why and how and when I need to change, too.

Gentle Lord Jesus, For loved ones no longer with me here, Though the love in my heart remains, I pray that You now hold them near, Without earthly sadness or pain.

Lord God, Creating me in Your image, In Your sacred hands a work ongoing, Please help smooth out my rough edges, Father all-loving and all-knowing.

Lord Jesus, In this time when leaves turn to new hues, Please color my outlook with Your grace.
