Heavenly Father, in your compassion and mercy I have spent the past
night: Pour out your Holy Spirit on me this morning so that I may
praise you with my whole being. Reveal yourself to me, even now,
so that my heart can respond to you; through Jesus, your son, my
Lord and redeemer.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, since it is of your tender mercy and compassion
that I greet another new day in my life, please accept my total
being as an offering to you this day. Guide and strengthen me as
I face the events and decisions before me today, especially (here
mention specific needs) that all may be done to your honor and glory.
I make this offering and prayer through Jesus Christ, my Savior.
Amen.
Lord, even as I make this offering, I realize my own impotence to
maintain my life in your way, and so I ask for the strength of your
Holy Spirit to hold me firm in my resolve, keeping my eyes on Jesus,
my Savior, each hour of the day.
Amen.
Heavenly Father, because of the love that you have for me, I intercede
for all my brothers and sisters. Let your Good News be made known
to all of them. Especially, I ask your blessings on all my brothers
in the Brotherhood of St Andrew, giving special strength, inspiration
and insight to those in positions of leadership-especially our National
President (add name) and all the National Officers, the staff in
the Central Office, the Assembly Officers, and my Chapter Director.
Father, as many as have accepted you, keep them in the light of
your Gospel, and fill them with your Holy Spirit that they may be
witnesses for you to all those other brothers and sisters who do
not yet know the good news of your great salvation. Bless all of
your ministers in the Church, both lay and ordained. I ask the blessing
of your grace on each member of my family today, drawing each one
closer to you; make your love known to my friends and neighbors,
and if there is any way in which I can minister to their needs,
Father, make it known to me, that your name may be glorified and
honor given to Jesus Christ my Lord and Redeemer.
Amen.
Almighty God, who gave such grace to your apostle Andrew that he
readily obeyed the call of your Son Jesus Christ, and brought his
brother with him; Give us, who are called by your Holy Word, grace
to follow him without delay, and to bring those near to us into
his gracious presence; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the love of the Father, and the
unifying power of the Holy Spirit be made manifest among all mankind
and especially to the people I walk among today.
Amen.
