God's Minute 4/12

The Lord art good and ready to forgive.--Psalm 86:5

OUR FATHER Who art in Heaven, we come before Thee in the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord and Saviour. For His sake bow Thine ear and hear our prayer. We bring Thee our offering of thanksgiving for all Thy loving kindness and tender mercy toward us. Thy goodness has never failed us. We humbly pray for the forgiveness of our sins. We confes that in many things we have offended and come short of Thy Holy Will. But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. Deliver us fromt he power of evil. Let not any sin have dominion over us. Shield us from all that would hurt us in body or spirit. Order our future, make our plans, choose our changes. Suffer us not to live selfish or useless lives. May we do good as we have opportunity, and serve our generation according to Thy Will. We commend toThy fatherly care our loved ones who are absent from us in the flesh. Protect them from evil, and do them all the good that they need, both for this life and for that which is to come. We pray for the coming of Thy Kingdom! Pour out Thy Holy Spirit upon all Thy churches. May they bear faithful witness for Thee, and through their testimony may multitudes be brought to know Thee, and accept Thy great salvation. We humbly ask all in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
