Memorial Day
Dear God. Grant reassuring peace beneath the cover of Your Presence to all the men and women who gave their lives in defense of our country and the freedom of the world. They are the righteous souls deserving of praise.
Weak with Fear
Dear God, I am dizzy with fear and despair. My spirit is weak, my faith faltering. Is there an end to my troubles? I’m praying for good health, renewed strength, and calm. Praise to You, who answers my prayers.
Watch Over My Child
Father God, watch over my child with particular care and attention. Guide me in the way to raise her right, with good values, a confident spirit, and a cheerful disposition. Thank You for trusting in me as I grope my way through parenthood with great hopes and unwavering faith in her brilliant future.
Marriage Prayer
God, we need Your perfect love, perseverance, and hope for the bad days. Give us the strength to cling to You when our marriage seems shaky. Open our eyes to the positive attributes we each possess and let love cover our flaws. Thank You for our marriage, our well-being, and our lives together.
Weekend Rest
There are no worries on the weekend. No tension, disagreements, or dysfunction. Please, God, let me enjoy some leisure time, and I will spend the Sabbath day in reflection, prayer, and blessed rest.
