Gracious Lord,

In the quiet of this moment, we seek Your presence, just as those before us have done in times of need. You are our fortress, a safe harbour amidst life’s storms. In You, we find strength when we are weak, and hope when our hearts are heavy with worry.

We confess that at times, our faith wavers, and fear creeps in. In these moments, remind us of Your unchanging love. Teach us to trust in You, not just in words, but through the very fabric of our lives. Help us to see Your hand at work, even when the path seems unclear.

Lord, You know our struggles and our burdens. You hear our cries and understand our silent tears. Extend Your grace to us, that we may find peace in Your embrace. Lead us through the trials we face, guiding us with Your wisdom and patience.

We ask for the courage to face each day, not with fear, but with the assurance that You are with us. Help us to recognize the beauty in small blessings, the joy in simple moments, and the hope in each sunrise.

Protect us from harm and guide our steps. May Your truth be our shield, and Your word, a lamp to our feet. In times of darkness, be our light; in moments of doubt, our certainty. Let Your goodness and love follow us, all the days of our lives.

We offer our gratitude for Your endless mercies. You are our refuge, our joy, and our eternal hope.

In Your loving kindness, hear our prayer. Amen.
