Heavenly Father,
How wonderful and glorious you are, full of power and might. We honor you for your faithfulness, your generosity, your forgiving nature, and your constancy in an ever-changing world. We worship you, Gracious God, and thank you for the blessings you have given us.
Reveal to us our purpose. Help us to see and use the talents you have given us to further your kingdom. Show us how to serve as you would have us serve. Let us recognize your will and be faithful and courageous enough to follow it. Give us the strength to turn away from worldly temptations and distractions to focus more completely on you.
As we grow in you, turning from the usual to your divine intentions, we will balk. We will stutter. We will feel challenged. Yet we know change and growth are often painful. Forgive us for our unbeliefe, hesitancy, and lack of faith.
We love you, Creator God, Brother Jesus, and Holy Spirit. You are ours. We are yours.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
