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.

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?

How Great Is Our God lyrics - Chris Tomlin

How Great Is Our God lyrics

Chris Tomlin

The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty

Let all the earth rejoice

All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide

And trembles at His voice

Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands

And time is in His hands

Beginning and the end

Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One

Father Spirit Son

The Lion and the Lamb

The Lion and the Lamb

Name above all names

Worthy of our praise

My heart will sing

How great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me

How great is our God, and all will see

How great, how great is our God

A Driver's Prayer

Lord, make me calm and patient in difficult traffic.

Lord, give me firm hands, attentive eyes, prudence and perfect control so that I may make a good journey and arrive happily at my destination.

You are the Author of life. Do not let me suffer any accident, hurt anyone or be the cause of anyone’s death.

Santificado sea tu nombre.

Venga tu reino.

Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.

No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.

Amén.

Pater noster qui es in coelis,

sanctificetur nomen tuum;

adveniat regnum tuum,

fiat voluntas tua,

sicut  in coelo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,

et dimitte nobis debita nostra,

sed libera nos a malo.

Tagalog

Ama namin, sumasalangit Ka

Sambahin ang ngalan Mo

Mapasaamin ang kaharian Mo

Sundin ang loob Mo

Dito sa lupa, para nang sa langit.

Bigyan Mo kami ngayon ng aming kakanin sa araw araw.

At patawarin Mo kami sa aming mga sala,

Para nang pagpapatawad namin

Sa mga nagkakasala sa amin.

At huwag Mo kaming ipahintulot sa tukso,

At iadya Mo kami sa lahat ng masama.

Sapagkat Iyo ang kaharian, at kapangyarihan,

At ang kadakilaan, magpakailanman.

Amen.

French

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux,

Que ton nom soit sanctifié,

Que ton règne vienne,

Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.

Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.

Pardonne-nous nos offences

Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.

Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation,

mais délivre-nous du mal,

car c'est à toi qu'appartiennent le règne,

la puissance et la gloire, aux siècles des siècles.

Amen.
