A Prayer on Monday

Lord, it’s Monday.

It’s not everyone’s favourite day;

Back to school.

Back to work,

Back to all the chores.

Yet each day is a gift,

Each day is an opportunity.

Each day is special.

Help me to make the most of this day.

Help me in my work,

Help me in my relationships.

May you be glorified in my life,

This and every day.

Amen.

“Morning by morning, O Lord, I lay my requests before you, and wait in expectation.”

Psalm 5:3

Thank you Lord

Thank you Lord for this simple day. Thank you for the air we breathe. Thank you for the trees where we shed. Thank you for the sunlight. Thank you Lord for everything.

We love you and may you bless us, guide us and protect us.

Amen.

Prayers for Saturday

Saturday Morning

Dear Savior, help me remember as I begin my weekend activities. Whether work or leisure will engage me today, keep my thoughts and actions centered on You. Make it a day of contentment for me, no matter if the activities I face are pleasant or tedious. Keep me through the Holy Spirit from willful sins and from those sins I do not even realize I am committing. Help me be a positive influence in others' lives as I go my way. Let my inner rejoicing in Your salvation be evident in all I say and do so that I bring glory and not shame to Your most holy name.

Amen.

Saturday Evening

Tonight, Lord, I confess to You my sins and ask Your forgiveness for the many times I have offended You during the past week. Thank You for carrying for all those sins and for bearing the weight of them. Work in me true repentance with the strength to turn away from sin. Give me peaceful rest tonight so that I can arise refreshed to worship You tomorrow. Help me give You all glory in the week to come, no matter what You have planned for me. Grant me patience to take one day at a time and the faith to put all things into Your hands. In Your name I ask it.

Amen.

Good Friday Prayer

O Jesus, Who by reason of Thy burning love for us 

hast willed to be crucified 

and to shed Thy Most Precious Blood 

for the redemption and salvation of our souls, 

look down upon us here gathered together 

in remembrance of Thy most sorrowful Passion and Death, 

fully trusting in Thy mercy; 

cleanse us from sin by Thy grace, 

sanctify our toil, 

give unto us and unto all those who are dear to us our 

daily bread, 

sweeten our sufferings, 

bless our families, 

and to the nations so sorely afflicted, 

grant Thy peace, 

which is the only true peace, 

so that by obeying Thy commandments 

we may come at last to the glory of heaven.

Amen.

Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us continued graces and blessing throughout the coming year. 

This we ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Brother.

Amen.

Lifehouse's Everything Skit

Find me here, speak to me

I want to feel You, I need to hear You

You are the light that's leading me

To the place where I find peace again

You are the strength that keeps me walking

You are the hope that keeps me trusting

You are the light to my soul

You are my purpose, You're everything

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and You give me rest

You hold me in Your hands, You won't let me fall

You steal my heart, and You take my breath away

Would You take me in, take me deeper now

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

'Cause You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

You're all I want, You're all I need

You're everything, everything

And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?

Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this?
