O loving Lord, we come before you with hearts longing for your peace, for you are the hope that never fails and the light that shines through the darkness of our days
Fill us with your grace, and teach us to trust in you in every circumstance, so that whenever our hearts grow weary, we may find strength and comfort in your presence
Jesus, make our lives a joyful hymn for your glory
Grant us hearts that love sincerely, forgive humbly, and serve gladly
Bless our loved ones and all those we remember in our prayers
Keep us beneath the shadow of your mercy, that we may always walk in the path of truth and love
To you belong glory, thanksgiving, and praise, now and forever
.Amen
