A Prayer for Enlightenment

Lord God, enlighten us through your word so that we can discover the needs of the people around us. You are God, the Almighty, and we thank you that like a Father you protect us and through your divine mercy and love you create living space for us and for every single person. We ask you especially to show mercy to our nation. Enlighten us through your divine Spirit and create in the hearts of the people interest in your word.

And in times of crisis and challenges, give wisdom from above so that we stay true to your word so that we can respond to the different needs - in both the spiritual and physical aspects. God, watch over us, because of the mercy and love of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

(Rev. Mihail Cekov)
