Prayer for Thursday

Lord our God, we lift our hearts to You, for You have given great promises to those who fear You and in awe of Your wonder. Let Your Word strengthen us in faith, patience, and hope. Be with all those who call upon You, sincerely, pleading for help in our time. For these times must work for our good, and in spite of sin, death, and all evil we can find joy in what You are accomplishing. We call to You, O Lord our God. Let Your hand be revealed in those things You are doing, that something may be seen besides the human striving and the efforts of human hands. Let the work of Your hand be visible to many, to people all over this earth. May Your name be honored, O Lord our God, may Your Kingdom come quickly, and may Your will be done on earth as it always is in Heaven. In Jesus’ name we seek You in all things.

Amen.
