Prayer for Your Community

Lord,

I offer my community for your blessing and protection. Protect us from all misfortunes, accidents, and natural disasters so that the community has an opportunity to thrive and prosper. Help us to be vocal and enthusiastic when looking for the needs of our community and to work diligently and obediently so that the fruits of our labor will be blessed.

I pray for my neighbors and the people who work in the area that we may work together with a spirit of friendship and avoid most of the unpleasant disagreements that keep the community from flourishing. We desire to live in harmony with one another and we know that this is possible through your grace.

I appreciate the privilege of living in a community that is free from war and conflict and I offer up a prayer for communities that are not as fortunate. I thank you for the food that you have provided for me and I pray for those around the world and especially in my community who will go to bed hungry today.

Guide my hands, Lord, that my works of charity may go to where they can best serve others and heal the world that you have so graciously provided for us all.

Amen

Prayer for Grandparents

Image
God of everything, I give you praise for the gift of my grandparents. Thank you for allowing them to see their children's children and allowing them to impart their knowledge onto their Grandchildren. Have compassion on them Lord and forgive them for any way that they may have gone against what you asked of them. Bless my grandparents for the love and support they provided for me and my parents during their lives and forgive them for all the times the fell short of the parents or grandparents you called them to be. Thank you for all the special moments that I have enjoyed with them. Watch over them, guard them and care for them in this phase of life. Multiply the pleasure they receive from their grandchildren. Grant them peace and joy on this earth and when their time on Earth is done, grant them eternal happiness in your kingdom. Amen

Prayer for the strength to put God first

Image
  Heavenly Father, I trust you to be the manager of my life. I wish to be the type of person that stands firm in their faith and trust you in every situation. Give me the strength to face difficulties with you as my focus. Teach me to trust your directions. I know you want what's best for me, but I can't stop relying on my own mind and trusting only what I can see. God, help me to rely on your power. When I am afraid, I will trust you to be my courage. When I am angry, I will trust you to be my peace. When I am grieving, I will trust you to be my comfort When I am lonely, I will trust you to keep me company When I am rejected, I will remember that your approval is all that I need. Lord, you are the source of all Good things. Help me to keep my eyes focus on you and help me to develop the trust that will draw me closer to you.   Amen

July Prayer

Image
Almighty Father,               Thank you for the wonderful blessings that you have given to me in June. As I enter this month of July, I pray for missionaries and all people who live their lives doing good for others: volunteers and paid staff of various charitable organizations, health care professionals, people who are called to religious ministry: priests, pastors, nuns, ministers, deacons, and all those who live lives of service. Be with them as they carry out the tasks you have assigned to them. Give them patience that they may graciously stand firm when it seems like their work is in vain, inspire them that they may know what to say when the time comes.   Cover them with your divine providence that their families will not want. Bless them that through their sacrifice they may find eternal peace with you Lord send your spirit Amen
