Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
You have chosen us as a treasured people, holy to the Lord our God. In Your love, You have set us free and called us to be Your own.
As Elijah demonstrated on Mount Carmel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below. You answered by fire, showing Your power and turning hearts back to You.
You have not come to abolish the law or the prophets but to fulfill them. May we teach and follow Your commandments, for in doing so, we find righteousness.
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.
Reflections from Deuteronomy 7, Kings 18, Matthew 5
