O Searcher of Hearts, O Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on each one of us.
May the light of your torch shine upon the depths of our souls, especially when we are feeling lost, or weighed down by grief, or anxious about the future. Thank you that you are the searcher of our hearts and that you always know how to find us because of your prevenient grace, your grace that is always reaching out to us in any given moment. And whenever we are feeling lost and experiencing darkness in our lives, remind us to just pull over and take a moment to allow your light to shine upon our troubled souls.
May the light of your torch shine upon those who are on our church’s prayer list. We pray that your healing and guiding presence would be with them so that they would be restored to health and wholeness.
May the light of your torch shine upon all who are in need of your light this day, especially those who are unable to care for their needs, who feel alone, and who are in need of a new beginning.
May the light of your torch shine upon those who are graduating from High School and College. Lead them to pursue a career path that will enable them to use their gifts and abilities to help make this world a better place.
And may the light of your torch shine upon our community and world through the ministries of our church. Lead us to continue to be a beacon of hope through the offering of our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and our witness.
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on us, as we pray the words that Jesus taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
