A Prayer for Deeper Blessing

Evening Prayer

A Prayer for Deeper Blessing

God of justice and compassion,

you know how easily we confuse blessing

with comfort, approval, and ease.

Teach us the deeper meaning of blessing—

the kind that shapes the soul

and binds us to one another in love.

When faithfulness costs us something,

steady our hearts.

When righteousness meets resistance,

give us courage that does not harden into bitterness.

Form in us a wellbeing that does not depend on praise,

a peace that does not collapse under pressure,

and a hope that cannot be taken away.

Let your kingdom take root within us—

in our choices,

in our communities,

and in our care for the most vulnerable.

Make us people who seek what is right,

even when it is costly,

trusting that your blessing runs deeper

than anything the world can give or take away.

Amen.
