PRAYER
God, you're worthy of our trust because you are full of compassion and mercy. You come to our rescue, even when we're unaware of what you're doing. I'd like to be more aware so I am asking you to cultivate that awareness in me. I want to better celebrate what you're doing in my life and around the world as you pour out you compassion and mercy. Perhaps some of it will even rub off on me and I'll be filled with copassion and mercy, too. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
