Prayer for Monday

Lord our God, dear Father in Heaven, we thank You. Let our praise and thanksgiving be a glorious offering to You. How often You rescue us from all fear and distress! How often You hear and answer us! Grant that our hearts may always be eager and joyful because You answer us and because You are always there ever so near to us. There is nothing else for us in this world for we are nothing more than strangers here; You are our one hope, our only hope. You alone can help the times we are in, help the nations, help each individual person. Nothing else matters to us. Lord our God, for the rest of our life on earth You alone are our help, our comfort, and our strength. You will always be our shield, our fortress and our protection in a world that will only get darker until Jesus, our Lord comes back to shed His light throughout the world. In His name we pray and give You glory!

Amen.
