If countries disagree, Lord, and if negotiations break down, “going to war” has sometimes been seen as a way of “saving face”. In the same way, there are times when matters get out of hand as individuals disagree strongly, and feel they need to “save face”. In my own small part of the world may I learn ways, Lord, of being a peacemaker, of helping people to see that there are alternatives to hostility, and there are ways of “saving face” in a decent and human way, without there being a break-up of relationships. Help me to be a channel of your peace this day. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: God our Father, in the Bible you tell me to “choose life and not death”. Inspire me in the choices I will make today - that I may choose what is positive and life-giving and good. So help me to protect and defend myself from influences that are not good. Keep me on the right path to choose values that are lasting and beneficial. Keep my eyes open whenever there is injustice, that I may be willing to stand with those who are treated unfairly, and defend those who need support. Deliver us, Lord, from all that is evil. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord God, may all of your creation - from the vastness of mighty stars and planets to the lowliness of the smallest living creature I can see - remind me to live in wonder and appreciation of all that is around me. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: God our Father, I can think of mistakes I have made and the attitude that I have sometimes had. May I not become so independent that I think I know it all and no longer need others, but may I always have true friends around me who are willing to point me in the right direction. May I be ready to apologise when things go wrong, and be ready to learn from my mistakes, finding humour in my situation and having the ability and good sense to laugh at myself. May I grow in wisdom each day. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord Jesus, we hear you say that, “of course”, you want to heal us of what is not good in our lives. Touch us today that we may experience your healing and the fullness of your life. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: God our Father, you made each of us unique and unrepeatable. Inspire me to live in such a way that I respect others and am ready to learn from all who are part of my life this day. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: For all that we should have thought and have not thought; For all that we should have said and have not said; For all that we should have done, and have not done; we ask forgiveness, Lord. For all that we should not have thought but have thought; For all that we should not have said but have said; For all that we should not have done, but have done; we ask forgiveness, Lord. Amen This is an excerpt from the page of this date in ‘Praying Each Day of the Year’, a 3-volume book by Nicholas Hutchinson, FSC. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord our God, we pray for the strength to hold to our convictions. We pray, too, for the courage and determination to stand with those who suffer from injustice. In all that we do, Lord, inspire us to act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Loving Lord, these individuals we have heard about were ordinary people. They spent years making choices each day about small ordinary things. Their positive and life-giving attitude eventually led to serious decisions about standing with the poor and the underprivileged and those treated unjustly. Inspire us, Lord, to choose wisely in the ordinary circumstances of our daily lives. Having then chosen wisely in small things, inspire us with courage and generosity when we must make more important decisions. Amen. ![]() ![]()

Regular prayer not available at usual source.
Quote:
I embrace change today. I learned a long time ago that without it, I don't grow unless I do. I also discovered that what stood me in good stead at the beginning of my program, is no longer of service in today. Hopefully, I will continue to grow and look for new ways to connect with the God of my understanding. This prayer has been a big part of that conscious contact. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: God our Father, it seems obvious to many that people of all races and people of all religions and none are brothers and sisters of one another. We ask that justice and peace may grow in the hearts and minds of each individual, that we may treat others in the same way as we wish to be treated. Rather than thinking over bad things that have happened in the past, may we grow in the freedom, the courage and the generosity to place past events into your hands. Teach us how to break the cycle of hatred by being generous and caring towards those who have done us harm, resisting evil and conquering it with good. Amen. ✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥ ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord, I want to be responsible for my own life, and I want to make positive choices each day. Inspire me to get my priorities right and be generous in my care and concern for others. In busy days and casual days remind me, too, of my basic human need for personal time and quiet and space, and lead me to respect the personal needs that others also have. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord, I ask that you inspire me always to do my best - not comparing myself with others, but only with myself. Lead me, Lord, to discover and use my own talents to the full. May I live in such a way that I help others to experience success, as well as praising them for the good use of their abilities - looking not so much at the degree of achievement but at the effort put in. Stop me from judging people or jumping to conclusions about them, but lead me to respect and accept others for who they are, focussing on the positive rather than the negative. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() 4 Let us pray: Lord, I do not want to be selfish. I do realise how important it is to value and appreciate myself, and I know that I need genuine love for myself if I am fully to love others. Remind me of the importance of keeping time and space and quiet for myself, and remind me to respect the personal needs of others, too. Lord God, you who call me by my name, I thank you for making me who I am. Inspire me to grow as a genuine and sincere person with a positive attitude, right values, and a generous spirit. Amen. ![]() ![]()

![]() Let us pray: Lord, I need to keep an eye on the small things in my life as well as the bigger issues, because my thoughts become my attitude, my attitude becomes my words, my words become my actions, and my actions form my character. Be there, Lord, in that instant before every thought, that I may choose wisely my thoughts and my attitude, my words and my actions, so that I grow as the person you call me to be. Amen. ![]() ![]()
