Oh God, our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
In today’s Gospel your Son teaches me not to store up treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy and thieves break in and steal, but to store up treasure in heaven where nothing can be lost.
For where my treasure is, there also will my heart be, so I set my heart upon you, my truest wealth.
Let my eye be sound and my whole body be filled with your light, and drive out every darkness within me.
Thank you for the blessings I have already received, and thank you for the blessings still coming toward me, my family, and my household.
As you once hid the child Joash in the safety of your temple and kept him through every danger, hide me and mine in the shelter of your presence and keep us safe.
Restore what has been broken, raise up what was hidden, and bring it forth into the light of your favor.
Provide for me, for mine, and for my family with your abundance, your wealth, and your mighty force.
Strengthen me with your strength, fill me with your wisdom, and guide me by your light in all my steps.
Heal me and heal those I love, and make whole what is wounded in body, mind, and spirit.
Forgive me my trespasses and my many shortcomings, as I forgive those who trespass against me, and release the burdens I carry so I may walk free.
Keep your hand upon me and my family, and deliver us from all evil.
We also have a silent request.
We offer you a promise of this quiet act of kindness done in secret today, and we ask that you accept it.
I lift up my family, my friends, and all your children, and I place their needs and their well-being into your care.
Watch over them, provide for them, and draw them close to you.
I surrender myself and all that I am to you, trusting fully in your will.
Bless me, bless my family, and bless all who hope in you.
We pray these things to you our Lord God, through Christ. And It Is So.
