Almighty God, help your people to see what you want us to see. Give us wisdom and a vision of your world and of your people.

Lord, you long for us to be caring people of God . Help us to share your vision throughout the world.

Please wipe all tears from our eyes of death and grant that we may not mourn after the things of the world. Let there be no more crying, but praying; no more pain but health and strength, peace and joy.

Thank you, Father, for your Son who showed His love for us in obedient service for us sinners. Thank you for the opportunity you give us to demonstrate your love by serving others.

Lord Jesus,saturate us with your Holy Spirit and let us be your flame and fuel; let our hearts burn within us as the day of Pentecost. Help us to take care how we live, not as unwise, but wise. Help us to make the most of each moment you give and to press on for the prize.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.
