Prayer for Tuesday

Lord our God, grant that our spirit may recognize Your Spirit and Your unfailing love, so that our lives cannot be swallowed up by the passing and temporary concerns of this life but are lifted to something higher. Help us hold fast to all the blessings You have not only allowed, but have given us to experience, the blessings You will certainly continue to give, even though new battles and new troubles are always going on all around us. Send a great light to shine among the many people whose task is to lead the way so that Your Kingdom may come and in the coming may be illuminated brighter than the stars. Send light so that Your glorious name may be honored through our human deeds and You may be known and glorified as life abundant for all. Through Jesus Christ who has promised us abundant life, we ask You these things, dear Father.

Amen.
