A Prayer for the Season After Pentecost

Lord God of all nations, you have revealed your will to your people and have promised your help to us all. Help us to hear and do what you command, that the darkness may be overcome by the power of your light; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

A Prayer for Summer Travelers

Lord God our Father, you kept Abraham and Sarah in safety throughout the days of their pilgrimage, you led the children of Israel through the midst of the sea, and by the star you led the Wise Men to the infant Jesus. Protect and guide those who now set out for travel; make our ways safe and our homecomings joyful, and bring us at last to our heavenly home, where you dwell in glory with your Son and the Holy Spirit, God forever. AMEN.

A Prayer for Peace

Almighty God, all thoughts of truth and peace come from you. Kindle in the hearts of all your children the love of peace, and guide with your wisdom the leaders of nations, so that your kingdom will go forth in peace and the earth will be filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. AMEN.

A Prayer for God's Love and Protection

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, comfort the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. AMEN.
