Oh God, our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings. You have filled our lives with visible signs of Your presence and grace. In the vastness of Your creation, we find the comfort of Your eternal order.
We acknowledge the blessings we have received and continue to receive. Your love endures, even when we falter. You restore our souls, guide us in paths of righteousness, and renew our strength.
Continue blessing me, mine, and those of my family, with wealth and mighty force. As You have promised in Isaiah, may we spread out to the right and to the left. May our descendants dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
We ask for Your strength, wisdom, healing, and guidance. Like Elisha who took up the mantle of Elijah, may we also embrace the call to serve. Let our ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and our ‘no,’ ‘no,’ as You taught us through Your Son.
We confess our shortcomings and mistakes. Seeking Your forgiveness, we release all burdens. We pray for ourselves, our family, friends, and all Your children.
We lift up their needs and well-being. We surrender to You, trusting in Your will. In the silence of our hearts, we present our silent requests.
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.
