Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the LORD God, the Eternal One

LORD God,
Have mercy on us and those we name before you we ask.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O LORD, hear our prayers at this time of day and have mercy we ask.

O Living and True God, our heavenly Father, hear our evening prayers
As we look back on this day.
Oh pour out a blessing on those we name before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen
