Pastoral Prayer
Our dear Father, who sent your only begotten Son, our God and Savior Jesus Christ, who modeled prayer for us in his high priestly prayer as well as by his spirit moving through the Psalmist who wrote, Trust in God at all times, grant that we, your people, may be found faithful to seek Thee with all of our daily burdens, also returning thanks for each of our daily blessings, so that our lives radiate with faith that is fueled by worship without ceasing, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
