Prayer for the Diocese

Loving God,
As we end the summer season, we give thanks for the beauty of the earth and the gifts of your creation. We pray for gentle and good weather—sunshine and rain in due measure, and conditions that bring a safe and abundant harvest.

Watch over all who travel in these days. Keep them safe on their journeys and bring them home in peace.

Grant us your wisdom and your care, we ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
