Prayer for Thursday 7-7-2022

Lord our God, we thank You for all You have done for us, for all You are continuing to do for us, for deliverance from need and death. We thank You for all the signs You give us that You hear our prayers when, without wavering or weakening, we set our hopes on You. We thank You that we can be without fear of sin and death, for You stand by us in everything and You have removed that burden of fear from us. In spite of our imperfections You show us Your goodness again and again. May the light in our hearts reflecting Christ Jesus never be extinguished, the light that enables us to look into Heaven and earth and see the good that is on its way to us today. May the strength of Your joy remain with us, and may we have the strength to be a community that follows the paths of life which bring praise, glory and honor to You. In the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord and King, we pray.

Amen.
