Oh God, our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings. You are mighty and wondrous, performing marvels beyond our comprehension. In your wisdom, you have guided us through the sea of life, leading us by your steadfast love.
Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for the many ways you have manifested your glory in our lives. Like Elijah, who walked with you and performed great deeds, may we too find courage and strength in your presence. Teach us to pray, not with empty words, but with hearts full of faith, seeking your kingdom and righteousness.
We acknowledge the nourishment of your wisdom, more precious than honey and the honeycomb. Continue to bless me, mine, and those of my family, with wealth and mighty force. We ask for your strength, wisdom, healing, and guidance.
We confess our shortcomings and mistakes and seek your forgiveness and release of 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.
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.
