Oh God Restore Us

PROK staff morning prayer
Scripture text: Psalm 80
04August2011

PRAYER
Most loving and redeeming God:
We thank and praise you for this opportunity to come to you in prayer.

The Psalmist reminds us that both in our personal and social life there are brokenness that need to be mended and healed. We are becoming aware of your forgiveness when we are confronted with the senile effects of aggression or of perfectionism that haunt our lives.

We have been conscious of our  separation from your mind and will when we are anxious of what others might judge us. In your tender mercies restore us to your loving will and help us to share your grace in acts of service to the least of your people.

We pray for all the people in our country and the world who are struggling for justice, freedom and peace. They who have been deprived and oppressed by the powers and instrumentalities of states and nations. May they attain the fruits of their struggles.

Bless and sustain us in our work today. May patience, unselfishness and understanding remain in our hearts and minds. We pray that your redeeming love in Jesus Christ will restore us to who we are as you intended us to be. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
