We conclude our day of prayer together and ask God's blessing. With Pastor Alice Bassett-Jellema and all people of good faith, we are called to walk, to serve, and to rest in God's love. At the Close of Day Behold now, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD,* you that stand by night in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the holy place and bless the LORD;* the Lord who made heaven and earth bless you out of Zion. Psalm 134 A Reading Lord, you are in the midst of us and we are called by your Name: Do not forsake us, O Lord our God. Jeremiah 14:9, 22 Lord, you now have set your servant free* to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior,* whom you have prepared for all the world to see; A Light to enlighten the nations,* and the glory of your people Israel. Prayers for ourselves and others may follow. It is appropriate that prayers of thanksgiving of the blessings of the day, and penitence for our sins, be included. The Lord’s Prayer Visit this place, O Lord, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy; let your holy angels dwell with us to preserve us in peace; and let your blessing be upon us always; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The almighty and merciful Lord, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, bless us and keep us. Amen.
