Shared Prayer

O Holy One that answers prayers Your Word calls us to do all in word and deed in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to You. Forgive us for divided hearts, for saying one thing and living another, for serving from pressure instead of devotion. Teach us to speak and act with reverence, so our work, our conversations, and our choices point to Your Son. For those carrying heavy responsibility, a mother caring for children, a believer under strain at work, a disciple facing misunderstanding, strengthen them to obey with a grateful spirit. Let in the name of Jesus Christ be more than a phrase, let it be the authority and motive of our lives. As we give thanks, crown us with your lovingkindness and tender mercies, and keep our hearts free from complaint. Thank You for receiving our lives as worship. In Jesus' glorious name. Amen.
