Almighty God,

Creator of heaven and earth,

Giver and Sustainer of life,

Who works all things together for the good of those who love You

—and find themselves caught up in Your purposes and plans,

We pray, together, here in the middle of another work week.

In whatever has come before, whether successful and productive or fruitless and toilsome;

And in whatever may lie before us today, tomorrow, or later this week:

We pray for the serenity to accept what we cannot change,

The courage to change what we can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

We pray for the serenity and peace that Christ left with us,

For the courage of the Spirit which is not fear, but power, love, and self-control,

And we pray for the true wisdom which comes from the Father,

Wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, merciful, fruitful, impartial and sincere.

May a harvest of righteousness might be sown by all we say and do.

In Jesus name,

Amen.
