1 Thessalonians 5:25

Give us day by day your sweet ministry of brotherhood

Hear these our prayers for your own sake;

Save us in temptation, deliver us from evil,

Make us sons and daughters of yours by grace

While we beseech you to guide our wayward steps in the twilight.

Deliver us from inertia, evil, and all sinful transgression.

Throughout the vicissitudes of life, remember always to love one another. Do not strive with men, even with unbelievers. Show mercy even to those who despitefully abuse you. Show yourselves to be loyal citizens, upright artisans, praiseworthy neighbors, devoted kinsmen, understanding parents, and sincere believers in the brotherhood of the Father’s kingdom. And my spirit shall be upon you, now and even to the end of the world.

Our Father who is in heaven,

“Father of all, whose Son we honor, look down upon us with favor. Deliver us from the fear of all save you. Make us a pleasure to our divine teachers and forever put truth on our lips. Deliver us from violence and anger; give us respect for our elders and that which belongs to our neighbors. Give us this season green pastures and fruitful flocks to gladden our hearts. We pray for the hastening of the coming of the promised uplifter, and we would do your will on this world as others do on worlds beyond.”

Sanctify our steps and co-ordinate our thoughts.
