Today We Pray

Dear Lord, through Your works, have revealed the everlasting structure of the world. You, Lord, created the earth. You are faithful throughout all generations, righteous in Your judgments, marvelous in strength and majesty, wise in creating and prudent in establishing what exists, good in all that is observed and faithful to those who trust in You, merciful and compassionate; forgive us our sins and our injustices, our transgressions and our shortcomings.

I ask You to inspire me to encourage others by what I say and do today. God and Father of all people, never let me look down on others or make anyone feel inferior. Show me how to live today with genuine concern for others. 

Give harmony and peace to us and to all who dwell on the earth throughout the day to come, just as You did to our fathers when they reverently “called upon You in faith and trust,” that we may be saved, while we render obedience to Your almighty and most excellent name, and give harmony and peace to our rulers and governors on earth. I humbly pray You so to guide and govern me by Your Holy Spirit, that in all the joys, occupations, and cares of this day I may never forget You, but remember that I am ever walking in your sight. In Christ’s name, I pray.

Amen
