Prayer for Thursday

Lord our God, we thank You for allowing us to come to You and to stand before Your throne, boldly and without fear. We thank You for helping us throughout our life on earth, for strengthening our faith in You and our trust in all You do. Bless us and give us courage. May Your light shine out through us among the peoples so that they recognize Your will. May Your light shine out so that Your name may be praised and we can rejoice in the new time You give us. For You will be at work and You will accomplish all You desire. Even when we do not know what will become of our time, You know what our time needs, and You will carry out Your perfect will. You will let Your name be honored. You will bring Your glorious and holy Kingdom, and You will change everything for the good of all. We give You thanks and praise for all of these things, in Jesus’ holy name.

Amen.
