Prayer for Wednesday 3-30-2022

We give You humble and hearty thanks, Oh most merciful Father, for all the blessings of the past day. Be with us and guard us during the defenseless hours of the night.

Bless our leaders and all who bear rule over us. Hasten the time when peace, truth, and justice shall be established throughout the world. Reveal Yourself in Your great mercy to those who are afflicted by war, and cast down the unrighteous causes. Support and relieve all who are distressed in mind or body, especially. Shield all our family and friends who are in temptation or danger. Guard with Your gracious protection our families and loved ones. Forgive us our many offences, and failures, and negligences throughout this day. And help us day by day to serve You better and love You more sincerely, for Jesus Christ’s sake.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore.

Amen.
