Elder's Prayer

Our Loving Heavenly Father, 

We come before You with humble hearts, filled with gratitude for the blessings You have bestowed upon us. Thank You for Your unending love, Your ever sufficient grace for us each day, and Your mercy that knows no bounds. 

Lord, in moments of joy, we praise You, for You are the source of all that is good.  

In times of struggle, we seek Your strength, for You are our refuge and fortress.  

Please guide our steps, O God, as we navigate the trials of life, and lead us always to walk in Your truth. 

Father, we pray that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will always fill our hearts and comfort our souls even as learn to continually cast our cares upon you through our supplications, thanksgiving and praise with the help of the Holy Spirit. 

Please Jehovah, teach us to love one another as You have loved us, to forgive as You have forgiven us, to bear witness and to be a city on a hill, a light that shines to all around us in such a way that the world may see the good works that you produce in us through the Holy Spirit and glorify you.  

Faithful Father, we pray for the brokenhearted, and the weary, among us. We pray for Your healing hand to rest upon them, Your wisdom to guide them, and Your love to surround them.  

Please help us to flee from everything that entangles us so that we may be useful to our Master to be His willing and available instruments of His will, that we may bring hope and kindness to the lost in the world. 

We surrender to Your divine providence in every aspect of our lives, trusting that Your ways are higher than our own. Please strengthen our faith whenever we allow doubt to creep in and help us to remember that Your promises are steadfast and true. 

We pray this the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
