Daily Prayer

Blessed are You O Holy King, for You reveal Your love to us through our families and friends. We learn of Your care and protection through the goodness and grace of our loved ones. We rejoice in the families of our Churches. May all who come find love, fellowship, acceptance and friendship. Lord, help Your Church be an instrument of peace and healing in this world. As we gather, let us show the unity that is ours in Jesus Christ. We pray for unity amongst all believers, that we may show unity to the world. We praise You O Lord for the wonderful variety of people and talents in the world. We ask Your blessing on all areas of growth in goodness and grace. We pray for our schools, colleges and universities as they start a new academic year this September. Adonai, guide all who influence the minds of young people; we pray for those who work with television and in the pop-culture of today. We give thanks for all that enriches and encourages family life. We pray for social services and all who support any families that are in difficulty. We pray for families where there is great debt or where love is absent. Bless our homes with Your love and care. We give thanks that You are a God who creates, heal and restores, that You care for our whole being; body, mind, spirit and soul. We pray for all who are injured in accidents or through acts of crime and violence, all who have taken ill and those who illness have no cure. We pray for their well-being and the knowledge of Your love. Bless all who share in healing, our doctors, nurses and all who work in hospitals. We ask that You forgive us our sins and that You keep Your hand of protection over us during this night. We love You Father and pray this prayer in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.
