Letter to God

Dear God,

I give to you this night. Post angels round my home, my bed, my children, my loves, and everyone. Send angels through the world tonight, to heal the sick and awaken the dead. Let miracles replace the pain in all of us. Lay Your hands on all our eyes, that we might see at last. Amen.

- Marianne V

Bless Our Family

All praise to You, Lord Jesus, lover of children:
Bless our family, and help us to lead our children to You.
Give us light and strength, and courage when our task is difficult.
Let your Spirit fill us with love and peace, so that we may help our children to love you.
All glory and praise are Yours, Lord Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen.

Easter Prayer for Renewal

Lord, send me a surprise.
One that catches me off guard and makes me wonder. Like Easter.
Send me a resurrection when everything looks dead and buried.
Send me light when the night seems too long.
Send me spring when the cold and frozen season seems endless.
Send me an idea when my mind is empty.
Send me a thing to do when I am just waiting around.
Send me a new friend when I am alone.
Send me peace when I'm afraid.
Send me a future when it looks hopeless.
Send me Your resurrection when I die, Jesus.

- Rev. Dr. Herbert Brokering

Prayer for Those Searching for God

O Lord my God, teach my heart this day where and how to see you, where and how to find you. You have made me and remade me, and you have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, and still I do not know you. I have not yet done that for which I was made. Teach me to seek you, for I cannot seek you unless you teach me, or find unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in my desire, let me desire you in my seeking. Let me find you by loving you, let me love you when I find you. Amen.

- St. Anselm

In Time of Need

Heavenly Father, in my present need, help me to believe that you are aware of my anxiety and will do what is best for me. Give me the strength to trust you and put the present and future in your hands.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We pray that you will guide us in all ways, so that we will seek your will in everything that we do. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
