Prayer for Tuesday

Lord our God, bless us, that the world may be blest. Help us, that the whole world may be helped. Grant us Your mercy in Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for the whole world. May it soon be revealed that Your Kingdom stands and will bring our age to an end, a good and blessed end. Grant Your blessing on every aspect of our lives, on all the concerns and requests we have on our hearts, and help us to praise and thank You each and every day. Let Your perfect will become known everywhere in spite of the horror and blasphemy, so that even the dying may glorify You and all who have to suffer may praise and thank You because they see Your face and recognize Your light. We want to entrust everything to You, Lord God. We await You with anticipation and great joy. We rejoice and thank You, for we know Your will shall be done. We know and believe that Your name and the name of Jesus, Your Son shall be glorified forever.

Amen.
