Prayer Offered for August 26, 2021

Let us pray from Psalm 90:

Eternal and Immortal One, You have been our refuge in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, before You had formed the Earth and the cosmos, from everlasting to everlasting, You are the Alpha and the Omega.

When our days on Earth are ended, You welcome us home to Your heart, to the city of Love, where time is eternal and days are not numbered.

You gather those You love, as friends returning from a long journey, giving rest to their souls.

You anoint them with the balm of understanding, healing wounds of the past.

Teach us, O Beloved, to honor each day that we may have a heart of wisdom.

Have mercy on Your people’s pain.

Increase Your love within us and hear our prayer.—AMEN.
