Prayer
Oh God, within whose patient providence we exist, by whose enduring love we are embraced, with whose strength we are sustained, and by whose Spirit we are empowered to live and do good in the world, we give thanks for every blessing bestowed so generously upon us. We pray not only for ourselves today, but for all who are in need of your gracious attention. Comfort the sorrowing, give relief to the anxious, strength to the weary, and direction to the wandering. Bless our own efforts in the service of others and bless for our use the food and fellowship we enjoy. Use us as willing instruments of your will. Amen.
