Heavenly Father,
We come before you to celebrate being your children – unconditionally loved, undeserving yet forgiven, hopeless yet saved by grace and the magnificent gift of Jesus’ sacrifice and death. Unto you we give all honor and glory, never forgetting everything comes from you.
We thank you for the gift of a nation founded on your Word. We are grateful to be able to worship openly, to proclaim our faith, and live as disciples.
Forgive us when we take our circumstances for granted. Forgive us when we put ourselves first. Forgive us for not loving our neighbors as you would have us love them. We truly repent and ask you to put us on the path you have chosen for us.
Open our eyes to see your plan, open our ears to hear your will, open our hearts to all your children, open our minds to believing the impossible is possible with you!
All these things we pray in the name of our risen Savior, Jesus. Amen.
