Prayer for the Day
A prayer for God's guidance
In pilgrimage, O Lord, show us the path to be taken; in commitment, the will to be obeyed; in service, the cost to be borne; and in faithfulness, the crown to be won.
Prayer for the Day
A prayer for peace in the world
Peace is a rose.
So lovely, so delicate, so fragrant,
so easily crushed.
Holy God, let peace flower in our damaged world.
In parched places, let peace take root,
in broken places, let peace send forth strong shoots,
in barren places, let peace bud and bloom,
that all may see her beauty,
feel her softness,
be overcome by her gentle perfume,
and tend her.
Amen.
A prayer for God's forgiveness
To you, O God most high, we lift our hearts, voicing our praise, confessing our sins and seeking your pardon. To you we come for grace, to you we render our thanks and to you we ascribe all honour and glory, now and forever. Amen.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
