Gracious
God,
we
pray that You would give these, your children,
hearts
and minds in tune with Your will.
May
they grow in spiritual wisdom,
and
in an understanding of how You are at work in their lives.
May
their words and actions bring credit to You,
and
may their lives reflect Your glory and grace to everyone they meet.
Strengthen
them with Your infinite power,
so
that they would be strong enough
to
endure what seems unendurable,
giving
thanks to You in all things.
Amen.
