Prayer for Friday 7-8-2022

Lord our God, our Father in Heaven and on earth, we are thankful that You have in us a people to whom You can say, “You are mine.” Grant that we may continue to belong to this family. Strengthen us in the faith that we truly do belong to You, so that we can come to know Your rule and Your perfect justice. Protect us on all the paths we follow during our time on earth. Continue to lead and guide our steps that You have laid. The times are evil, but come what may, every single one of us has in his heart the certainty, “We are Yours.” You have long watched over us and kept us safe. Again and again we affirm, “We are Yours, Lord our God, through Jesus Christ our Savior.” It’s in His precious name, the name above all others that we pray.

Amen.
