Prayer for the day - August

[MajestyJo]

August 30

Let us pray:

Lord Jesus,
in the world that you love so much
we are surrounded with advertising
on the streets, in magazines,
on TV and on the Internet
- all trying to convince us
of ways of enjoying ourselves
and becoming likeable and popular.

Keep our vision clear
and show us how to distinguish
between what is shallow
and what is of lasting value.
Inspire us
to choose ways of deeper happiness
that lead to fullness of life.
We ask this of you who said:
“I am the way, the truth and the life”.
Amen.

August 31

Let us pray:
Lord, I ask
for the power of your Spirit in my life
that I may live in such a way
that I show kindness
in another’s trouble,
and courage in my own.
Amen.
