Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, not distress, peril, nor sword. We are conquerors through Him, assured that no force can rend us from Your love.
You called Israel out of Egypt, teaching Ephraim to walk with bands of love. Though Your children did not recognize You as their healer, Your heart remained kind. You are the Holy One among us, not a man, and Your mercy prevails over anger.
To the Gentiles, the riches of Christ were preached, revealing the mystery of Your plan. Through the church, Your manifold wisdom is made known to the heavens. In Christ, we have boldness and confidence, rooted and grounded in Your love.
As Christ dwelled in our hearts, may we grasp the breadth and length of Your love. The love of Christ surpasses knowledge, filling us with the fullness of God.
On the cross, Your Scripture was fulfilled, as Jesus’ bones were left unbroken. Blood and water flowed, a testament to the truth of Your word and our belief.
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.
