Heavenly Father,
We come before you with thanksgiving, prayers, and praise. We honor and glorify you for the riches you have given us and the blessings we enjoy. You alone are holy and only you do we worship. Our hearts are yours, Gracious God, giver of all good gifts and author of mercy.
We seek your presence, Lord. Send your Holy Spirit to be with us. Attune our ears to your words and our hearts to your will. Let us reflect the love you offer in all our relationships. Help to heal the broken bodies, hearts, minds, and souls. Give relief to those who are tormented by fear, sin, and anguish. Restore in us your perfect peace so we can be ministers of your Gospel.
We thank you for the gift of your son, Jesus, who walked this earth a sinless man. Let us become more like him. Equip us to be his hands and feet today for all those who hunger for more intimacy with you.
We ask you continued blessings upon everyone. We seek to be disciples. Let it be so.
In Jesus’ precious name we pray. Amen.
