Taking time to wait before God as you pray
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

LORD God, our great God,
Thank you for being there with me
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.

In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
