A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, October 4 (based on Psalm 145)

“Thy mercies, LORD, are above all thy works; faithful art thou in all thy promises, just in all thy doings. Be a merciful Father unto us for Christ Jesus thy Son’s sake. Govern our ways for we are weak; strengthen us for we are frail; refresh us f0r we are famished; and plentifully bestow thy good gifts upon us. Defend us from the snares of Satan, our old enemy, that he tempt us not out of the right way, but that we be evermore ready to praise and glorify thy holy name, through Jesus Christ. AMEN.”
