Prayers

In this time of changing seasons, O Lord, help me to see Where and why and how and when I need to change, too.

Gentle Lord Jesus, For loved ones no longer with me here, Though the love in my heart remains, I pray that You now hold them near, Without earthly sadness or pain.

Lord God, Creating me in Your image, In Your sacred hands a work ongoing, Please help smooth out my rough edges, Father all-loving and all-knowing.

Loving Lord God, In communion with saints in Your light, In faith, I offer You my needs.

Lord Jesus, The colors around me tell where drought has left the ground parched or nurturing rains have watered the earth.

Lord Jesus, In this time when leaves turn to new hues, Please color my outlook with Your grace.

Blessed Virgin Mary, please pray with me.

Lord Jesus, Please be with the sick, For the advice to fear not what affects the body Is sometimes more easily said than done.

Lord Jesus, thank you for your example seeing the goodness in people and forgiving readily.

Heavenly Father, When I long for an answer to my prayers, Please renew my hope That if Your timeline isn't mine, You will be patient with me.
