OUR Heavenly Father, we bow before Thee to thank Thee this morning for Thy mercy and love that has brought us again into Thy holy presence.

We have sinned. Wilt Thou forgive us?

We thank Thee for the food Thou hast given us. Wilt Thou also feed our souls with that bread that cometh down from Heaven. We bless Thee for our home. We are thankful for our loved ones. As Thou art present with us here, wilt Thou also abide with those who are bound to us by kindred ties, but are separated from us by distance. We thank Thee for our friends and neighbors, and ask a blessing on them. We thank Thee for the church, and its influence. Give it spiritual power for its tasks in this community and in all the land.

Supply Thy limitless grace to the missionaries who in answer to prayer, Thou hast thrust into the dark places of the earth. May their message be so used by the Holy Spirit, that Thou, Oh Christ, may be known in all the world, and the coming of Thy Kingdom may be hastened!

We ask this, our Heavenly Father, in the Name of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus. Amen.
