Prayer for the week: 27 August, 2023
Prayer of Confession
God of kindness,
We look to You when we are in times of trouble and difficulty.
When we feel there is no one left on our side
we pray that we remember our help is in Your name.
When we fall short of the mark,
when our frustrations take over,
and lead us to anger,
help us to reach back to You,
to find Your peace,
and to know
that our help is in Your name.
For the thoughts we have that go against You,
for the words we use against others that cause hurt and bitterness,
let us take comfort in knowing Your love is greater than all of our errors,
and we thank You that our help is in Your name.
In times of distress,
when our fears engulf us
and we feel unable to cope with the challenges that lie before us,
be our strength,
Be our shield,
be the reminder
that our help is in Your name.
Lord of heaven and earth,
we give thanks that through everything we face
You are on our side,
we are not swept away,
our snares will be broken
because
our help is in Your name.
Amen.
