Saturday Vespers

We thank You, Lord, for Your abundant grace, mercy, and the countless ways You have sustained us. As we embark on the journey ahead, we seek Your guidance and wisdom. May Your light illuminate our path, helping us navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie before us. Grant us the courage to pursue our dreams and the strength to overcome any obstacles we encounter.

Fill our hearts with love, kindness, and compassion, so that we may extend these gifts to those around us. Help us to be instruments of Your peace, spreading hope and joy in a world that often needs it. We pray for Your protection over our loved ones and ourselves, keeping us safe and healthy throughout the year. May Your presence be a constant source of comfort and encouragement.

We humbly ask for Your mercy and guidance for those in need:

For the sick and suffering, may Your healing hand rest upon them, bringing comfort and restoration.

For those burdened with worries and anxieties, grant them peace and the assurance of Your presence.

For the lonely and isolated, surround them with Your love and bring kind companions into their lives.

For families facing challenges, may Your wisdom and strength uphold them, fostering unity and understanding.

For our leaders and those in positions of authority, guide them with Your wisdom to make decisions that promote justice and compassion.

As we rest this evening, we ask for Your protection over us. May our hearts and minds be filled with Your peace, and may we awaken refreshed and ready to serve You anew.

Today, we also ask for Your miracles, our Miracle Maker. We pray for the Pastor's wife who is suffering from stage 4 cancer. We have been praying for her for some time, and today, as this new year begins, we bring her to You for Your healing hand.

We also ask for healing and pain relief for a senior lady in the Delhi area of India, who is suffering from back pain. In the extreme cold, we ask for Your healing touch and protection. May Your healing touch rest upon them both.
