Prayer for Monday

We thank You, Father in Heaven, that You concern Yourself with us and that You bind us to Yourself through all Your deeds and all Your help. We thank You for showing us a way of hope, a way that becomes always clearer, always firmer under our feet. On this way we can defy every evil of this world and time, knowing for sure that everything will come out right and we will all be brought to the great, eternal goal, even though we have to deny ourselves and go through much suffering. Your Kingdom must come to the glory of Your name, so that all people may live on a higher plane and follow You, the only true help and true life. We give You praise, we give You honor and glory, in Jesus’ precious name.

Amen.
