Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
We rejoice in the Spirit that bears witness that we are Your children. As heirs through Christ, we embrace our trials, knowing they lead to future glory. The sufferings of now pale in comparison to the joy that awaits us.
We are grateful for the grace, mercy, and peace bestowed upon us through Christ. May we stir into into our lives the gift of God, living with power, love, and grace. Help us to bear our share of hardship with divine strength.
You have called us to a holy life, not by our works but by Your will and grace. Christ has triumphed over death, bringing life and immortality to light. May we hold fast to this truth, confident in Your promise to guard what has been entrusted to us.
We acknowledge Your teaching through Jesus, who clarified the truth about resurrection. May we not be misled, but understand the Scriptures and the power of God. In the resurrection, we will be like the angels, living in Your eternal presence.
Continue blessing me, mine, and those of my family, with wealth and mighty force. Acknowledge the blessings we have received and continue to receive. We ask for Your strength, wisdom, healing, and guidance.
We confess our shortcomings and mistakes and seek Your forgiveness. Release us from all burdens, as we lift up the needs of our loved ones. We surrender to You, trusting in Your eternal word that remains forever.
We also have a silent request, known only to You. We offer You a promise of this Simple Act and pray You accept it. We pray these things to You our Lord God, through Christ. And It Is So.
