of the Holy Spirit, lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith,
and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son, and be confident
witnesses to Christian hope and joy to all we meet.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by
prayerand petition, with
thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
