Lift Us Into Joy and Eternal Glory

O God, enable us to come to you freely in prayer, for you are close to our every weakness, and know our every desire.  Let those who are troubled in mind and soul fnd comfort in your Word.  May those who are  sorrowing over the loss of loved ones, find solace in the knowledge of the gates to your eternal kingdom.  May those who are hesitant to come to you, overcome their hesitancy and receive a steadfast faith from you.  Grant that all of us may praise you through consecraed lives leading us into unspeakable joy and everlasting Glory.  We pray in the name of our risen Lord, Jesus the Christ.  Amen.
