Shared Prayer

O Lord You have given unto every one of us grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ, so none of Your children is empty handed. For the believer who feels weak, overlooked, or worn by the weight of obedience, supply the grace You have already appointed. Break the lie that we must serve You in our own strength. Great is thy faithfulness, so we receive fresh help to speak with mercy, to resist sin, and to keep going when feelings fail. You have said, lo, I am with you always, so let fear lose its voice and let courage rise in our hearts. Thank You for the grace that meets us, lifts us, and teaches us to rely on You and not on ourselves. Amen, and Amen.
