(Sometimes we realize we need help rendering our hearts in prayer. Read on to pray with me for God to bless and anoint us.)

Lord,

We sail on stormy seas

With waves of oppression, loneliness, and depression,

Crashing on us.

As we paddle through and give ourselves to You,

Bless us along with our families, churches, and friends.

According to Your great plans,

Make my desires reflect Yours.

Teach me to practice obedience,

Help me to pray with conviction,

So when we arrive on shore,

Our nets are full of sinners saved by grace,

So we may praise You

Joined in song—

The songs of nations for Your glory.

May it be so

Forever and ever.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
