Prayer of the Day
Historical Collect
O God, all good things can come from you alone; generously consider then our humble prayers. Inspire us to consider what is true and direct us to accomplish what is right; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. He lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Gelasian Sacramentary, 7th Century)
Thematic Collect
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks that you love us with an everlasting love for the sake of Christ. Grant us your peace so that in times of this world’s tribulations we may always remember that your Son has overcome the world; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen.
Prayers of the Church
For Walking with God
Heavenly Father, you call us to walk with Jesus in this life of faith. Help us to trust in your abiding mercy and constant care as we seek to do your will in the world. Guide us to walk to the places you would have us go, that your name would be praised and all people would come to know you. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
For Your Abundant Blessings
God of all good gifts, we praise your name and thank you for the good gifts you give us each day. In this Easter season, we especially thank you for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. May we live each and every day focused on your love and will for your people. In times of trial, help us to see your lovingkindness, trusting that you who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. 
For Those Who are Graduating
God of all wisdom, be with all students and teachers who are finishing up classes for the year. Be with all those who are graduating and moving on to whatever is next in their lives. Instill in each of them a deep understanding of your call on their lives, that they may serve you in all they do. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
