Praying Galatians 5:22-23

I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Opening Prayer

We have been created and saved to unite in worship before You.  There are times when we have worshiped together, tasting the joy of finally coming home as Your beloved daughters and sons.  But we come to You now as a broken household.  Minor differences have sometimes shattered friendships in the family of faith.  At times we have ignored, despised or offended one another.  Bring us together again.  Train us in what is good.  Restore what is pleasant.  And bring to life the mighty blessing of being together as Your children.

All your ways are flawless, Oh God.  Give us your ancient paths; teach us and help us to walk in the way that leads unto life.

Ending Prayer

Heavenly Father, I praise you and thank you for your great love and I lift up this day for your blessings. *
With your help I will live today as a responsible, generous, and honest human being. Like Jesus, I will try today to treat everyone I meet with dignity and respect. With Jesusโ€™ spirit alive in me I will witness my love by thinking of others first and myself last.

Help me today, Father, to put into action what I have said in words. *
I ask this in your name. Amen.
