Prayers

Loving Lord Jesus, Who noticed the merest touch to Your cloak, I give You thanks that I need never fear Being lost in the crowd of people coming to You.

Almighty God and Father, To You, I give thanks for Your mercy Shown more readily than I sometimes forgive.

May all who give their help to others Be blessed and encouraged by the Lord, Who came to show us how to live With faith and deeds in loving accord.

Lord, You are my hope, For You desire only what is best for me.

Lord Jesus, though innocent lives are lost to violence, please help me to be gentle.

Heavenly Father, When I dream big, Increase my faith, too, For with You all things are possible.

Lord Jesus, You said that we should be as children.

Lord Jesus, When I come to You in prayer, Pleading because the time seems long, Please be with me for the distance, And help me bear the pace.

Mary, Queen of Heaven, please be with me when I need reminding that, with God, all things are possible.

Lord Jesus, There is much in this world beyond what I can remedy, And so I come to You in prayer: For peace where there is war And for peacemakers; For the hungry and homeless And those who provide what they can; For the abandoned and abused And for unsung heroes; For the dehumanized and demoralized And for the gentle-hearted who bring hope....
