A Prayer For You Today

Dear Friends,

When God spares the lives of those we dearly love and need, it is a sacred moment, one that deserves our heartfelt thanks to Him.

A prayer for you today.

God and Father,
You declare Your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity.

Your grace and mercy teach us not to be anxious about earthly things, 
But to love and trust Your will.

We praise You for sparing human life, which is still passing away.

Please receive our humble thanks not only for what You have granted in the sick being made well, but also for giving us a glimpse of the final resurrection of our mortal bodies.

Grant us the fullness of Your grace, in life or death through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, 
one God, 
forever and ever. 
Amen.

Taken and slightly abridged from the prayers of Scott McKnight and John Donne (1572-1631)

May God lavish you every good thing you need this week, through Jesus Christ.
