​​Prayer for May 2025

 

Lord,

Make us into the people you would have us be

For we are utterly dependent on you,

 

Yet it is no pathetic, secondary life we have.

nor a cringing acceptance of our inadequacies

For you have given us an independent strength by which we can pursue our lives.

 

Help us to use that strength

• to do what is right

and

• to seek the good of those around us.

 

Give us

• the light and wisdom we need to keep us on track,

• the sense to see what is best,

• the honesty to recognise where we have gone wrong,

and

• the confidence to enjoy all that life gives us.
