Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
Through Christ, we are able to live for the praise of Your glory. Through Christ, and in Him, our purpose is fulfilled.
We endure all things, that we may gain salvation and eternal glory, through Christ. If we die with Him, we shall live; if we persevere, we shall live eternally with Him.
Help us to present ourselves as acceptable to You, imparting Your truth faithfully. May we love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves. This commandment is greater than all offerings and sacrifices, leading us closer to Your Kingdom.
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 Ephesians 1, Timothy 2, Mark 12
