under your warm wings
make me a faithful Steward

faithful endurance
God,
I offer up this prayer to ask for your protection and blessing
to be bestowed upon the saints of this world.
You know who they are and
You know well their tribulations.
Please uplift their spirits
so that they can continue to bring blessings into the world
through their selfless acts centered on You.
May the saints of the world
rise up with new power and glory
and lead the way to Your kingdom. Amen.
