Sunday Supplication - Preserve Our Lives

O Lord, we praise you and ask that by your Holy Spirit you would shape our hearts and minds to think and do what is right. Provide for our needs and preserve our lives. Make us able to delight in your will and walk in your ways.

Forgive us our sins. Renew us by your Spirit. Show us how to act, think, and live as Christ.  As you have forgiven us, make us merciful and ready to forgive those who have sinned against us.
Give us the courage and the grace we need to restore relationships, heal brokenness, sacrifice our rights, and humbly consider the needs of others.

O God, save and protect us from the things that threaten to consume and destroy us. Help us to look faithfully to you in all circumstances. Thank you for Jesus, my Lord, who for our sake and our salvation came down from heaven. Help us to love you with heart, soul, mind and strength.

We pray in the name of Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit--one God, now and forever. Amen.
