Prayer for Friday 5-6-2022

Lord our God, we look to You and to Jesus Christ our Savior. Continually renew Your grace and Your power in our lives, we pray. Renew Your grace and power, that we may have light even in dark and distressing times and through the Savior may overcome as we wait faithfully for Your Kingdom. Help us to be ready to take anything upon ourselves, to serve You with body and soul, with all we have and are. May we belong to the hosts of those who go to meet You, who wait for Your coming Kingdom, which will bring comfort to the world and to all people who now suffer and grieve. O Lord our God, have mercy on our times and on our world. Grant that with thanks and praise we may soon see the signs of the fulfillment of Your promises. And we ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Christ.

Amen.
