Neighbors And Community

O LORD, you have given us a wonderful community to live in, full of good neighbors. Our street is lined with beautiful trees, tidy houses, and the creative efforts of those surrounding us. Over the years we’ve all experienced the ups and downs of life—the joys of good times and the sorrows of troubles. In all of this, we enjoy being a part of this neighborhood.

Lord, bless this place we call home. May you shield and protect us from dangers that would harm or destroy us or our properties. Please prosper us in our work, equip us in our responsibilities, and enrich our families with growing relationships. May we walk in wisdom and seek you each day, so that in all of life you will be honored. Kindly help us to serve others in our community. May our home shine with your goodness and provide light to those who need to find their way. May we be an encouragement to all, demonstrating your mercy and enduring love. For the sake of your honor and your name, amen.
