Editor's Note: It is a great privilege to ePublish this collection of prayers and an interpretation of Psalms by my dad, Rev. Rodney Peters. While he was working on this project, we discussed it often, including various publishing formats and options. I know he enjoyed the process of pairing his words with his photos. He was a brilliant minister, teacher and writer, as well as a fan of all types of publishing modes and a huge proponent of utilizing modern ePublishing methods. I sincerely hope this book brings joy and peace to those who read it.

Psalm 27:1

The Lord is light and salvation for me;

whom shall I fear?

The Lord is my life’s stronghold;

Why should I be afraid?

Gracious God,

You are our health and strength.

We thank you for this day of sharing;

bless it to our life and faith,

for the sake of Christ’s Kingdom.

Amen.

Psalm 6:2, 4

save me in the mercy
