Prayer for Monday

Lord our God, we praise Your name because You have set up a mercy seat on earth, because You forgive our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. May Your mercy be seen at work in many hearts. Shed Your light upon all people, and let Your glory be known to all. Let Your glory shine upon all hearts, to the praise and glory of Your name and the deliverance of those who are still deep in the misery and bondage of sin. Keep us, Your children, in Your Word, which works miracles. Protect in us all that Jesus Christ has brought to the earth, and may we use His gifts in simplicity of heart. Grant that much may be accomplished to the glory of Your name and that we may draw nearer to the day of Jesus Christ, for which we wait in hope and longing. May Jesus come back for us quickly, and in His name we ask these things of You.

Amen.
