Suggested Prayers
From ELW Evening Prayer: Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we
cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out
with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love
supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Direct us, Lord God, in all our doings with your most gracious favor, and extend to us your
continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy
name; and finally, by your mercy, bring us to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and
Lord.
10th Century Russian Orthodox Prayer:
O Lord, grant me to meet the coming days in peace.
Help me in all things to rely upon your holy will.
In every hour of the day reveal your will to me.
Bless my dealings with all who surround me.
Teach me to treat all that comes to me throughout the day
with peace of soul, and the firm conviction your will governs all.
In all my deeds and words guide my thoughts and feelings.
In unforeseen events let me not forget that all are sent by you.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely,
without embittering or embarrassing others.
Give me the strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day
and all it shall bring.
Direct my will, teach me to pray, pray thou thyself in me. Amen
