Here’s a pastoral
prayer from the Third Space blog.
Prayer
Creator
God,
we
pause in your presence and hold our day before you.
Still
us, calm us, guide us as we enter this day.
Lord
in your mercy, hear our prayer.
(time for silence and
reflection)
Creator
God, we hold this day before you, especially…
A short time of silence
for personal prayer.
We hold before you, Lord,
all
those who would usually be here with us.
(These may be named
aloud.)
We
hold before you Lord,
all those we love, especially…
A short time of silence
for personal prayer.
We hold before you Lord
those
who are sad because someone they love has died…
(These may be named
aloud.)
We
hold before you Lord
those
we know who are troubled this day…
(These may be named
aloud.)
We
hold before you all those we will meet this day…
A short time of silence
for personal prayer.
Lord
God,
grant
us the faith this day to truly walk in the light of Christ:
Christ
as a light illumine and guide us
Christ
as a shield overshadow us.
Christ
under us; Christ over us;
Christ
beside us on our left and on our right.
This
day be within us and without us,
lowly
and meek, yet all powerful.
Be
in the mouth of each to whom we speak;
In
the mouth of each who speaks to us.
Christ
as a light, Christ as a shield,
Christ
beside us on our left and on our right.
