Prayer for Thursday 7-21-2022

Lord God, our souls long for You and for Your glory, for the day when it shall be said, “All is accomplished! Now Your Kingdom reigns. Now Your day is upon us. When we look back on all that has happened to us, everything becomes clear.” We thank You that we can live without fear, again and again refreshed and renewed, waiting for the good You give on earth. Show us the way we have to go, lead us and guide us. Grant your blessing in our hearts so that in need and even in death, in fear and distress, we may always have light and strength. You are our salvation, Lord our God. From You comes the salvation of our souls. We trust You today and every day. We praise Your magnificent name, and in You we hope for the day that You hold in readiness for the whole world, the day when light will dawn in every heart. In the name of our King of kings and Lord of lords, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we ask!

Amen.
