Prayer for Thursday 6-30-2022

Lord our God, we thank You for Your Word, which is light and strength to us. We thank You for all You give us and have given us. We thank You that we may be counted among the simple-hearted, among the children. We do not want to be anything great in the world. We want only to be with You as Your children, helpless little children, watched over and dependent wholly on You, the Creator and Father of all. Grant us Your blessing. Help us in all that is good and right, also in our daily work, so that we can be Your children and do what You have commanded. May Your name be honored and glorified at all times, Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread and the needs You know so well. Forgive us the wrong we have done as we forgive those who have wronged us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. In Jesus’ almighty and glorious name.

Amen.
