Sunday Prayer

Loving God Above all Things

O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee

such good things as pass man's understanding:

pour into our hearts such love toward thee,

that we, loving thee above all things, 

may obtain thy promises, 

which exceed all that we can desire;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Book of Common Prayer; 1662

Sunday Prayer

God's Strength and Protection

O God, who knowest us to be set
in the midst of so many and great dangers,
that by reason of the frailty of our nature
we cannot always stand upright:
grant to us such strength and protection,
as may support us in all dangers, 
and carry us through all temptations;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Book of Common Prayer; 1662
