Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
We give thanks to You, O Lord, because You instruct us. Even at night, at the end of our busy day, we sense Your leading. May we remain attentive to Your voice.
Guide us as we begin the serious and considerable task before us. We take nothing for granted.
But, we trust in You, Lord; we say, “You are God.” The course of our life is in Your hand.
Grant us necessary times of rest, physical and spiritual, in order that we might begin each day refreshed and alert, motivated and prepared.
May we serve well the needs of the people and may Your grace, mercy and peace abide with us all.
In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
