Dear most Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
You are the truth, the honorable, the just, and the pure. In your light, we find what is lovely, gracious, and worthy of praise. Help us to focus on these virtues, to reflect them in our lives.
As newborn infants long for milk, we yearn for your spiritual sustenance. Let us be living stones, built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood. May we offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to you through Jesus Christ.
We are your children, called out of darkness into your marvelous light. We are yours, recipients of your mercy. Guide us to maintain good conduct, that others may glorify you, through our actions.
Like Bartimaeus, we call out to you for vision and healing. Grant us the courage to rise and approach you with faith. May our faith in you restore our sight, that we may follow you on the way.
Continue blessing me, mine, and those of my family, with wealth and mighty force. We 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 the burdens that weigh upon our hearts. We pray for ourselves, our family, friends, and all your children.
We lift up their needs and well-being. 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.
