A Weekly Prayer for Places of Worship

A Prayer for All Places of Worship in the Coming Week

Holy and gracious Father, We lift before You every place where Your name is honored, where Your people gather, and where hearts turn toward You in faith. As a new week begins, let Your peace rest upon churches, chapels, missions, monasteries, and every house of prayer across the world.

Bless the worship of Your people — in great cathedrals and in humble rooms, in open fields and in hidden places. Let every sanctuary become a refuge of mercy, a fountain of grace, and a beacon of hope.

We pray especially for St. Nicholas Orthodox Church. Strengthen its clergy, bless its faithful, and let the beauty of its worship rise before You like incense. Guard its unity, deepen its love, and let its witness shine brightly in the community it serves.

For every congregation, Lord:

• Grant wisdom to pastors, priests, and leaders
• Give rest to the weary and courage to the discouraged
• Heal the wounded and comfort the grieving
• Stir up joy, reverence, and holy expectation
• Let Your Word be proclaimed with clarity and power

May every place of worship become a doorway to Your Kingdom — a place where the lost are welcomed, the broken are restored, and the faithful are strengthened.

Guide us through this week with Your Spirit. Keep our hearts attentive, our hands open, and our lives rooted in Your love.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen 💕✌️🙏
