Heavenly Lord, Giver of Peace
Giver of Peace,
Impart to each one reading this prayer the gentle mercy of your touch upon their spirit.
Giver of Grace,
Cover us with the blanket of your graciousness, so that we might live in this world with an ability to be made aware of how you soothe us daily.
Giver of Hope,
Let us be always mindful that we can truly do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
Giver of Courage,
Grant to us the wisdom to know and trust the knowledge you share with us so that we may boldly be your disciples each moment of each day.
Giver of Love,
Flowing from the throne of God, wet us once more with your sweet life-transforming spirit, immersing our spirit with yours, refreshing us so that we may kindly love others as you love us.
Heavenly Lord,
Prepare our hearts to receive the life you intend for each of us. Guide us, mold us, and lead us forward to live into the fullness of our life with you. Just as you came and walked among us so long ago, let us be mindful that you also, dwell with us still. In stillness, we will find our strength and that is You.
Amen.
