Merciful Father, grant that whatever cross, sickness, or trouble we must bear, we may recognize your fatherly will, and patiently endure what we have received from you; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen.

Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and eternal God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day. Protect us today with your mighty power; let us fall into no sin, nor run into any kind of danger. But guide us in all things, so that we may always do what is right. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Lord God, heavenly Father, give us each day new strength and new hope. Help us to submit to your will, take refuge in your peace, and overcome all trouble and temptation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
