Morning Prayer Vigil Ping!
O Lord,
Here we have the gift of a morning.
Lord, we know that we are grass, and our life is fleeting, for this is the nature of the world we live in. But in that time, we ask of you to remember us in our needs and frailties and insecurities and fears and dreams and longings.
Help us to choose the right, the way you would have us go, the path you know will lead us to becoming the people you desire us to be.
Wherever we look, the darkness seems to grow. People attack our families, our beliefs, the good you proclaimed, and twist your teachings into things that justify the lifestyle they want to live.
Yet remind us, Lord, that we are the tools in your hand, and that through you, lives are touched, hope is reborn, and the light shines clearly.
Guide us, from the smallest to the highest, in the way we should go.
Spread your wings over us, and keep us safe.
Be with those who mourn, and save us from those who would destroy us.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
