Prayer for Saturday

Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The LORD is over many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars,
Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,
And the LORD sits as King forever.
The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace.

(Psalm 29 [NKJV])

Prayer for Friday

A Prayer for the Married Couple

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this occasion.

Thank you for allowing this couple to commit themselves as Husband and Wife.

On this day Lord, you have given this couple the responsibility recognized as a spiritual gift of companionship.

Together, here today Lord, while in the presence of family and friends.

We ask you to strengthen their bond.

We ask you to allow them to recognize the fault in themselves, before considering arguing to relieve tension and frustration that all couples face.

Give them the desire to communicate with one another when the other needs the attention of their life mate.

Allow them to cherish the sanctity of marriage knowing that the other is all they need, mentally – emotionally and physically, in their partnership.

With all the love you have for this couple Lord, Bless them, so that we as their friends and family may celebrate this day with them for the rest of their lives.

And for those friends and family members, who could not be here in a physical form, allow their sprit to be felt in the hearts of this couple, so that all the positive energy within this setting can lead this couple into an optimistic future.

In your name Lord, Amen.

(Written by Alfonzo Tucker, Columnist, in the LA Sentinel on 08-27-2009 for his newly married brother)

Prayer for Thursday

Thank you, God for little things that
often come our way,
The things we take for granted but
don’t mention when we pray,
The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful kindly deed,
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need
Oh, make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with “sweet surprise”
from never dreamed of places.

(Helen Steiner Rice)
