Praying for others
Your neighbours
Your family
Your colleagues
Those on your prayer list


In Jesus’ name.

Reflect on the way God has blessed you in your life
and pray in response to Him

LORD God, the God of perfect love,
Our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we return our sacrifice of praise for who you are
And your help even this day
As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.
As we name others before You.
Amen.
