Prayer of the Week

Eternal God, our Father, who art acquainted with all the thoughts and feelings of our minds and hearts, create within us those desires which Thou dost delight to satisfy.

Bring us into complete accord and harmony with Thy wise and holy will and may we be worthy of the many blessings of Thy kind and gracious providence.

Grant that we may feel that no promise of thine is too good to be true and no prayer uttered by our stammering human speech is too faint and indistinct to be heard and answered by Thy divine love and grace.

May we daily give ourselves to Thee gladly and humbly in a new consecration, which is the only return we can make for all Thy goodness and loving kindness.

Hear us in His name who loves us with an everlasting love. Amen. Bernard Braskamp
