Prayer for Wednesday

Lord our God, dear Father, may we be gathered and united in Your light. Through Your most Holy Spirit strengthen our hearts to hold fast to You, for You remain our help, our counsel, our comfort throughout our life and in all eternity. Send us Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, and grant that again and again we may find newness of life through Him, our Lord and our King. Grant that we become attentive to Him, who is risen from the dead and who will come again to complete the work He began in His life on earth. We remember Your promise, O Lord God, and we remain steadfast in You. We have little strength in ourselves, but through us and abiding in us, we can do all things for Your glory. You alone can fulfill Your promise through Jesus Christ, whom You will send to complete Your works at His final coming. To His glory and to the glory of Your name, we praise You in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
