Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
You alone are the Lord, creator of heaven and earth, and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship You.
In the days of Elijah, You provided for those who were faithful during famine. As You sent ravens to feed Elijah by the brook Cherith, so You care for Your children.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, and those who hunger for righteousness. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven, they will inherit the earth, and be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers. For they will be shown mercy, see God, and be called children of God.
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.
