Prayer for Thursday 6-23-2022

Lord our God, grant Your peace in our hearts. Grant that we may ever be Your children, allowed to serve You in true peace through the forgiveness of our sins. Turn Your eyes to the world and its sin, that something new may come for all who are deeply unhappy, groaning under the anguish of their lives. Your mercy is great, Your compassion is beyond measure. For Jesus Christ’s sake we know You will bring into the world the salvation that is promised. You will bring the great day of Jesus Christ the Savior, who has shed His blood for all mankind. He can come to those now in need and misery, bringing His peace and His power into their hearts so that even death turns into life and everything serves Your praise and glory, Lord our God and Father in Heaven. Bless us and bless our nation. Save this nation that once served You. May life from Heaven grow in those who understand You and who are to be Your people. May Your will be done, Lord God, until Your Kingdom comes in its fullness and all the world may see that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to Your glory, Oh God our Father. In His precious name we beseech You.

Amen.
