‘Thy Kingdom come’ Father God
LORD our God…thank you

Father God, our gracious God, hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to you.
As we look back on our day
As we trust you for tomorrow
Give us victory we ask
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Call to Midday Prayer

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
I look to you for protection.
I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings
until the danger passes by.
I cry out to God Most High,[b]
to God who will fulfil his purpose for me.
