Prayer of Strength

Rock of my Salvation, stand firm beneath us in our times of tribulation
Let us stand on your unsteadying grace and unending love.
You are the shield with which we withstand the enemy’s blows.
You are the sword that strikes us with ceaseless mercy.
Be with the Congregation that is built around you.
Touch us all as we need your infinite wisdom and perfect guidance.
Lead those who lead us.
Teach those who teach us.
And love those that love us.
To the sick, the sorrowful, the poor, the despaired,
Give them healing, hope, comfort, and joy!
Reach those we have yet to reach,
Grasp the world, the way you have grasped our hearts.
We give you all our worship
We give you our possessions.
We give you our love.
God of our Hearts,
God of all Creation,
Bringer of Salvation.

Amen

  1. Very well written; the parallelism is put to good use throughout the prayer.  I like how it talks about God being our constant shield, protecting and helping us at all times.

  2. Beautiful prayer. I liked how you connected “Salvation” to the beggining and the end. Very well done.
