Shared Prayer

All Glorious God We praise You, for You are the Maker of every life and the giver of every good purpose. You formed us, and in Christ Jesus You made us new, and Your word tells us that we are Your workmanship, created for the good works You prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. So we declare that our lives are not accidents and our days are not wasted, because You have ordained the path before us. When we feel small, overlooked, or unsure that anything we do matters, remind us that You finish what You begin. When weariness or uncertainty makes us question our worth, settle our hearts in the truth that we belong to You and that You have work for our hands. Teach us to walk in the good works You have already prepared, with willing hearts and open hands, in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You for shaping us, for loving us, and for giving our lives purpose that no hardship can erase. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
