As you have created, called, and loved us by name, draw us ever more deeply into the mystery of your divine life, that we may glorify you rightly through your Son, our Lord Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God, now and forever.

of salvation, heard your call, and risked all to follow in your foot-steps. Be with all those this day who are enduring hardship, affliction, and calamity. Strengthen them with your spirit. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.

28 May Loving God, we thank you for your gracious call, and we thank you that you bring us together as your family. Help us to continue to respond to your calling, and may we be worthy to be called your children. In a spirit of gratitude and love we pray. Amen.

29 May Steadfast Lord, you alone are holy and merciful, the one true God. The gods of this world are unsatisfying, and we turn to you for our strength, comfort, and guidance. Our faith abides in you as you fill us with your peace. This we ask through Yeshua haMoshiach who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.
