Heavenly Father,
You are the source of all wisdom and everything good. We have nothing apart from you, your son, Jesus, and your Holy Spirit. We honor and glorify you, praising you for loving us despite our sins and shortcomings.
We thank you for the gifts of grace and mercy you’ve given each of us. Help us to honor these gifts through our response to your generosity. Give us spirits of service – not to earn our salvation but because we accept grace by faith and wish for others to know this peace.
For all those who are hungry, we ask for ways to provide their sustenance. For those who are thirsty, we ask for opportunities to quench their thirst. For those who want to fill the God-shaped hole in their lives, we pray for them to open their hearts, minds, and souls to you. Let us be the messengers of the Gospel who introduce them to your unconditional love.
Pour out your blessings over your children. Lead us to your perfect will and guide us in the ways you would have us go.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
