Prayer for the day O God, Who is, Who was, and Who is to come, before whose face the generations rise and pass away, age after age the living have sought You and have found that Your faithfulness never comes to an end. Our fathers and mothers in their journeys walked by Your guidance, and they rested and were refreshed in Your compassion. Be even now to us in these days, the cloud that goes before us by day and the fire leads and lightens our way by night. In our many and various temptations, You alone are near and know them and our weakness before them: lead us through them by way of Your escape. In our sorrows, we find Your Son who became the man of sorrows: revive us by Your mercies which are new to us every morning. In our prosperity and ease, it is Your Spirit alone that can wean us from our pride and keep us humble in the midst of them: make us ever mindful that we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds the mouth of the Lord. You alone, O Lord are the sole source of hope, of forgiveness, of peace and of righteousness, take now the veil from every heart, and join us all in the one communion through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Keep us with Your prophets and apostles and saints who have trusted You and Your Word – and were not ashamed. Not O Lord, of our merit or worthiness, but of Your tender mercy and grace in Jesus Christ, hear our prayer. Amen.
