O’ God, we pause this day to give thanks for another week’s journey. You have kept us secure in the enfolding of your vast embrace. You have placed prayers and singing in our hearts and on our lips. You have been by our side helping us to make right decisions and leading with a spirit of holiness and overflowing cups. You stopped by our hearts and our homes; our places of worship and employment and the atmosphere has been changed and charged by your Spirit!
For those who struggle this day with clarity of mind; strength of their bodies and the will to go on one more day, stop by Lord Jesus and shine the light of your glory upon them. For all those who need words of encouragement and hope for a better day, raise up a melody that inspires their walk into an unknown with confidence and faith. For those who grieve, comfort with the peace of your Presence, their sadness and sorrow.
Let not diseases and illnesses take our praise. Let not the troubles of this world cause us to spin out of control. O’ God of our salvation, turn your ear from heaven and hear us when we call. Help us up when we fall. Forgive us when we sin. Heal us when we are sick. Put us back together when we are broken. Hold us when we sink. Lay hold of us when we are ensnared.
Fasten us when we slip. Intercede for us when we pray. Dry our tears when we cry. Keep us until the end.
In the Name of The One who is our All in All, Jesus Christ, Amen!
