Prayer for Tuesday 7-5-2022

Lord our God, we thank You for the great calling You have given us. We thank You that in all the evils of today’s world You have given us the hope and faith that You are leading us to a goal that is good and perfect and You alone make us free. You make Your children free so that throughout humankind a new spirit may come, a new life and a new power to serve You in time and in eternity. Praise to Your name that we can always have hope; nothing can discourage us, but everything must work together for good in accordance with Your great purpose. Grant that Your compassion may come to all the world, to all peoples, whom You have looked upon with mercy in sending Jesus Christ as Savior, for we know that You truly desire none to perish. In the name of Christ Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, we ask these things.

Amen.
