Prayer For The Church Family

by Susan Nikitenko
(Wadsworth, Ohio)

Fill our hearts with your praise;
Fill our lives with your care.
Let those around us know;
That your presence is near.

Bless our hands with your grace;
Bless our words with your peace.
Lead our feet in straight paths;
Cause our faith to increase.

Bless our understanding;
With wisdom from your throne.
And when our hearts feel heavy;
Don't let us grieve alone.

Bless our prayers of hope.
Bless the song that we sing;
Bless our service of love
And the offering we bring

When we become weary;
Fill our souls with your might.
When we are discouraged;
Let your joy fill our night.

Forgive us our failings;
Our selfishness and pride.
Help us to truly love;
And constantly abide.
