Prayer - Summer

Heavenly Father,


We become ever more aware of your creation as we journey through these days of heat and humidity. We celebrate your glory in all the moments of our lives and proclaim your greatness as we realize our again how tiny we are compared to you. Yet you love us lavishly and unconditionally. And as we worry about our well-being due to extreme weather, we need only to turn to you in trust and remember your promise to protect us from harm.

We praise you for all the blessings we enjoy. Help us to respond to our faith and your love with acts of service of your will. As we spend time in your word, in prayer, in study, and in Christian conferencing, help us to discern your will. Equip us to be your hands and feet, helping to spread your kingdom on earth, winning more hearts for Jesus.

Forgive us when we fail to do your will. Forgive us for our sins. And forgive us for our lack of trust in you. Restore us and lead us on the path you have designed for us.

Help us to be a beacon of hope for all who are searching. Let all we do and say bring honor to you.

In the precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
