Today’s Prayer
Inspired by Psalm 123 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Oh God of mercy and comfort
Help us to keep our eyes on you
help us to remember you are in control
may we remain patient and faithful
knowing you are there to comfort us at all times
Calm our hearts and minds
when we are facing trouble and fear
as our eyes look to you
remind us we are light not darkness
we must put on our faith and love as a shield to our hearts,
our hope and salvation to protect our minds
with this we know you are there to protect us in times of trouble and fear
Be our courage and strength when things become too heavy for us to bear
You are greater than all our burdens, you are sovereign over all things
may you comfort us and have mercy on us all
