 O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us: inspire all our thoughts, pervade our imaginations, suggest all our decisions, order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in thy mysterious companionship; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 In sincere gratitude, O Lord, we bow our heads and hearts to worship Thee and give thanks to Thee for all the mercies Thou hast shown to us this day. Thou has protected each and every one and brought us into our family circle healthy in body and mind. To Thee, the eternal Keeper of our lives, we come to acknowledge Thy goodness and love. Continue to bless this home, and hold each one of us in the hollow of Thy hand.
Forgive us all our sins. Fill our hearts with a love for Thee and for one another, that peace and harmony may continue to fill this household. Let no place be dearer to us than our Christian home, and let Thy Word dwell in our midst. Protect us all and grant that none of us err or stray from Thee or do anything to disgrace our family before Thee or the world. Keep us faithful to Thy Gospel and true to one another, and finally let us all reach the eternal home of all Thy children. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. from the Lutheran Book of Prayer, 1951  O God, Lord of all power and might, preserver of all thy creatures: Keep us this day in health of body and soundness of mind, in purity of heart and cheerfulness of spirit, in contentment with our lot and charity with our neighbor; and further all our lawful undertakings with thy blessing. In our labor strengthen us; in our difficulties direct us; in our troubles comfort us; and supply all our needs according to the riches of thy grace in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
from The Book of Worship for Church and Home of The Methodist Church, 1965  Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: Kindle, we pray thee, in the hearts of all men the true love of peace, and guide with thy pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth, that in tranquility thy kingdom may grow, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
