This week's prayer is for St. John's Church! If you've glanced at this week's Weekly Reminder post, there's a lot on deck in the next seven days. Let's keep in prayer our own this week, that all may be buoyed for family and job responsibilities, ministry opportunities, and imbued with wisdom for all situations which cross our paths.

Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, from whom comes every good and perfect gift: Send down upon our bishops, clergy — and our own vicar and associate vicar — and upon the congregations committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of Your grace: and, that they may truly please You, pour upon them the continual dew of Your blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honor of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

For this week's prayer, we're looking at relationships and friendships — whether close and nurturing, or distant and tense. Did one in particular come immediately to mind when you started reading today's post? If you have an abiding friendship, thanks be to God! If you have a friendship or relationship that could use some work, today's prayer works for that as well. Today's post may prompt you to call a loved one and make a coffee date, or you may feel the need to pray about a fraught relationship. Either way, step forward knowing that the God who created each one of us is with us on our journeys.

Let's pray.
Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with Your most gracious favor, and further us with Your continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in You, we may glorify Your holy Name, and finally, by Your mercy, obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less
