PALO DURO PRESBYTERY
 PRAYER BOOK

A guide for daily prayers for Palo Duro Presbytery; for use in Sunday worship and other gatherings of the church.

Great God, in every age you have picked out people to spread the good news, and to lead your faithful people. We pray for those in Palo Duro Presbytery who minister for you. May they be strong in the faith. Keep them sure of your power, so that they may work without fear of failure. Help them tell your wonderful story until all people shall turn to you, even as you have turned to us with love, in Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
