A
Prayer for Grace Church
Please
pray this daily.
O God, Keeper
of our days,
help us to use them wisely;
Giver of all good gifts,
help us to share them freely.
Guardian of our ways,
may we tread them in your service.
We
thank you for the blessings you have poured out upon your
people of Grace Church, especially, for the restoration of
our buildings, and for the many throughout the Church who support us.
Empower
us by the outpouring of your Holy Spirit to be grateful and
generous stewards of our time, talents, and treasure.
Guide, comfort,
and strengthen us
as we work to fulfill the mission which you have placed
before us.
We pray this in
the Name of Jesus,
your Son our Savior. Amen.
