O God of power and grace,
As I read these words
Help me believe
And trust in You
In good times and in hard times.

As You are doing across the world.
O show mercy in these days we call out!
In Jesus’ name.

As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.
Our thanks
Our troubles and complaints
Our concerns
As we name others in need before You.
Amen.

Living LORD, hear our evening prayers and receive our praise
For your love shown to us
For the large and the small things in our lives

For those feeling defeated at this time.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Call to Midday Prayer

Some were fools; they rebelled
and suffered for their sins.
They couldn’t stand the thought of food,
and they were knocking on death’s door.
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He sent out his word and healed them,
snatching them from the door of death.
Let them praise the Lord for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
and sing joyfully about his glorious acts
