This is a prayer adapted from the Lord's Prayer that I call The Prayer of the Saints. I wrote it several years ago, and often it in place of the traditional Lord's Prayer on All Saints Day. (I use several versions of the Lord's Prayer in worship, which is a post for another day. For now, getting this posted so worship planners prepping for All Saints Day have it if they'd like.)
God of all times and places, may we see the holiness that surrounds us. We put our trust in you, and ask for the strength to continue the good work begun by those who came before. Give us bread for the world. Forgive us our mistakes, and help us forgive them too. When we face temptation and trial, grant us your presence and courage, as well as the wisdom to follow in your way. Amen.
