PRAYER
Loving God, you are full of compassion and mercy, for which I'm grateful. I admit, though, that I struggle with compassion because there are so many needy people around me. It feels like too much. Please strengthen my connection to you so your compassion can flow more freely through me. I need to get in better touch with your compassion to become a godly compassionate follower of Christ Jesus. 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.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
