Dear Lord,
We have many faults that we struggle to overcome.
On our own, we fail; our success lies in Your power.
We invite You into this place and into our hearts.
Your love gives us comfort and courage.
Your Spirit sustains us and lights our way.
May Your love in us give others comfort and light.
We pray that You would soften the hearts of
those we encounter, and lead them to the
blessed hope of salvation through our
Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ,
in whose name we pray.
Amen.
