O Lord, we come to you in prayer today opening our hearts to the work of your Holy Spirit:
Fill us with the love of Christ which seeks not its own but suffers for the sake of our neighbors in need;
Grand us joy in doing your will and in the knowledge that we belong to you;
Give us peace the world cannot give and which is the flower of forgiveness and trust;
Grant us patience until we no longer fear evil but wait for you to establish the ways of righteousness;
Bless us with kindness that hearts may seek your face;
Strengthen us in goodness that we may commend the gospel and serve as your sons and daughters;
Bestow upon us gentleness that the sorrowing may be comforted and tender ones may be drawn to you.;
Guide us in faithfulness that our gratitude to you may be known and we may inherit eternal life;
Empower us with self-control to rule our own spirits and to become fit instruments for your will.
All this we ask in the name of and for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
