PRAYER FOR THE MORNING

Prayer for the Morning Heavenly Father, this morning I pray for those who are beginning to know Christ: may You strengthen them on their journey.

I pray for all children, and for those who take care of them, especially those who awaken them to faith.

I pray for the ill and those who are ending their lives in loneliness: Oh Lord, give them the strength they need.

I pray for those who are condemned to prison or exile: Lord, sustain their hope.

I pray that the fire of your Spirit may renew the energies of all your saints and enable us to welcome those who do not know you.

And finally, Lord, may your universal church be constantly renewed, in prayer, in your Word, and in your worship; in Christ’s name, this I beseech you.

Amen.
