Benevolent Father, gracious God, Host at the end-time banquet for all who are in Christ, keep us from false pride in our faith and life, and give us enough insight into Christ to follow His example of servanthood to all; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen.
Heavenly Father, whose holy angels guard the gates of heaven, be standing there to recognize and give us entrance when the summons is sent to us, for we will be trusting only in the Son You sent to be our Savior; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever.
Father, who provides food and shelter for our frail bodies and trembling souls, as Your children we ask You to continue our training with love and caring discipline that we mature in faith and life; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever.
Heavenly Father, who in deliberating love has promised us the Kingdom and by the power of the Holy Spirit claimed us for the faith, by that same Spirit sustain us in that faith, that we, seeking Your will above all things, may by Your love inherit that which You have promised; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen
Divine Wisdom, Holy, Omniscient One, whose knowledge embraces all things, guide us in all our decisions so that they reflect a dependence on and deference to You, so that we do not lose the great treasure of this life or the joys of the life which is to come because of our unreliable self-will; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever
Gracious Father, since in the disclosure of Your great heart by Your Son, Jesus Christ, we have learned to know Your love, Your great concern, Your overwhelming generosity, we do not cease to marvel that we should be the objects of its devotion; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen.
Lord Jesus, the Christ, since we stand in an endless need of learning and growing by Your teaching, and in constant need of applying Your teaching to the affairs of our life and living, continue to teach us Your Word and give us power of the Spirit that accompanies it, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever.
Holy Spirit, who blesses us with all spiritual gifts, we thank You for our faith in Jesus Christ, we pray You to help us love our peers, and we praise You for the hope laid up for us in glory; for Your gifts make our days worthwhile and our future with our Lord our greatest expectation; through Jesus Christ, our Savior, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever.
Gracious and benevolent Lord, whose providence is given without bias or prejudice, accept our most sincere gratitude for the country and history into which You have set us, and grant that Your good ness and our gratitude be yet more reason for striving to attain and to maintain the high purpose of our fathers and of our faith in this our land; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Holy Spirit are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen
Holy Spirit, Builder and Keeper of the Kingdom of Grace, grant us, whom You have called into discipleship of Christ, a commitment strong enough to carry us to the death for Him if the necessity arises; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who with You and the Father are one God with dominion over us forever. Amen.
