A Prayer for Summer Beginnings

Gracious God,

As June begins and the days grow longer, remind us that Your love is constant in every season. Help us use this time to slow down, notice Your blessings, and share kindness with those around us. Guide our church to be a place of welcome, hope, and grace.

In Christ's name, Amen.

Faithful God,
When we feel weary, renew our strength.

Lift our eyes beyond today’s struggles
and remind us of the hope we have in You.

Give us perseverance for the journey,
joy in the small moments,
and confidence in Your promises.

You are our refuge and our strength.
Amen.
