Harvest season has begun, so let us take a few minutes to pray for all farmers:

"Heavenly Father, God of all creation, provide suitable weather allowing all farmers in our community and beyond to have a plentiful harvest. Keep them safe while they work in the field, repair, and maintain their farm machinery. Give them and their families good health, strength, patience, resources, and motivation they need to successfully harvest their fields. We offer these and all our prayers to you; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen."

Be safe out there, and have a successful harvest, everyone! God bless you!
