Prayer for Friday 7-1-2022

Dear Father in Heaven, Almighty God, grant that the nations come under Your rule, under Your judgment from morning to evening, from east to west, from north to south. For Your will must be done, and Your name must be honored among all nations. Yours alone is the Kingdom; all kingdoms belong to You for You alone are Sovereign. Your Heavenly Kingdom must come so that at last we learn to be at peace and become Your children, who submit to You. For Christ Jesus shall carry out Your loving, merciful, and perfect will throughout the world. We thank You for all the good You want to provide for us. May Your angels watch over us this night. Be with us in all we do or leave undone. Help us with Your strong hands, that we may rejoice at heart in all the good You give us. In Jesus’ name we bring these petitions to You.

Amen.
