Prayer for Friday
Lord our God, our Father in heaven and our Father on earth, our Lord and our Ruler, we thank you that to this very day you have guarded and guided us and delivered us from great need. We praise you with hearts full of hope as we continue on our pilgrimage. For Christmas Day is coming with its message of hope, peace, and joy that we may somehow bring honor to you in spite of all hindrances, mistakes, and sin, in spite of all death and the horror that is evidenced around us. We know that you hold us steadfastly in your hands. With your help we can look ahead, and again and again we may take a small step forward and live to the praise and honor of your name. So be with us now and bless us in Christ Jesus for your glory.
Amen.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
