Pastoral Prayer (Evening Worship) - 3 November 2013

{ The following is a pastoral prayer reflecting the Westminster Shorter  Catechism  Q & A 100-107. This might be a helpful model to use on occasion in your church or in your personal prayers. You have my permission to use it, and if you do, would you post a comment with when and where. Thanks. Mike } Our Father, we come to you with all holy reverence and confidence, as children drawing close to a father who is able and ready to help us. Hear our devout prayers and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually through Jesus Christ our Lord. May Your name be hallowed by us and all others so that we may glorify you in every way that you make yourself known. Arrange all things – all of our manners, hardships, needs, marriages, singleness, child-raising, childlessness, employments and all the governmental, national and international events and affairs of this world and our country-to Your own glory. O Lord, hear our prayer. May Your kingdom come . W
