Let us pray to the God who knows our needs, watches over His flock, and calls us to readiness in His service.
Heavenly Father, you have told us, ‘Do not be afraid, little flock’ for it is your good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Strengthen your Church in faith and courage. May we trust in your promises, living not in fear, but in joyful expectation of your coming. Empower bishops, priests, and all ministers of your Word to proclaim your Kingdom boldly, and to nurture your people with love and truth.
Gracious God, you call us to keep our lamps burning and be ready for the Master’s return. Help us to be faithful stewards of all you have entrusted to us — our time, gifts, and possessions. In a world distracted by greed and fear, shape our hearts by your generosity. Guide leaders in every land to govern wisely and to act justly, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty.
God of compassion, watch over those who wait in darkness — the lonely, the anxious, the sick, and the dying. May your light break into their lives with hope and healing. We pray for all caregivers and medical workers, that they may reflect your love in their service.
Faithful God, you have promised that your Son will come at an unexpected hour. Help us live each day in readiness, not with fear, but with hearts awake to your presence and hands ready to serve. May we live as people of the light, bearing witness to your Kingdom in all we do..
