Your Tender Mercies

A prayer for weary souls longing to be refreshed

O Lord, you who water this parched land with gentle showers from heaven, refresh my weary soul with your tender mercies this morning, I pray, so that my strength might be renewed, my hope made steady, and my heart tuned to sing your praise, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
