FAMILY PRAYER
Prayers for This Month
Gesture
Bowing one's head is a sign of reverence. It is a simple way to honor the presence of the Lord and accept a blessing. This month, encourage your family to bow their heads during prayer.
Mealtime Blessing
Lord, As we gather we give you thanks For the food that
the earth has provided. We praise the hands that have made it and take delight
in the gifts you have given. We ask you to bless this bountiful food to
our bodies. We ask this in your name. Amen.
Morning Prayer
A Prayer of Sending Forth. Lord Jesus Christ, we praise
you and thank you for this new day. As new light dawns, we ask you to hear
our prayer. No matter where we go and what we do, we ask your unfailing
protection. Watch over our children as they go to school today, we leave
them in your tender care. Guide us all in faith so that we might share the
gospel with all those we meet. Make us strong so that we may be a witness
to the gospel in all that we do. We ask this in your name, Amen.
Evening Prayer
Let us pray. From the beginning of the day until
its end, we are grateful for your love. We thank you for watching over
us today. We praise you for the courage to be merciful with our family,
friends and coworkers and ask you to show mercy toward us. Through your
love make us whole and bring us to new life. We make this prayer through
Christ Jesus, Amen.
