Oh God, our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
In today’s Gospel your Son tells me to fear no one, for nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
He reminds me that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without your knowledge, and that even the hairs of my head are counted, so I am worth more than many sparrows in your sight.
Cast out every fear from my heart, and let me trust that you watch over me, over mine, and over my family with a Father’s tender care.
As the prophet Jeremiah knew you to be with him like a mighty champion, be with me also, that those who trouble me will stumble and not triumph.
Thank you for the blessings I have already received, and thank you for the blessings still coming toward me, my household, and all I love.
Provide for me, for mine, and for my family with your abundance, your wealth, and your mighty force.
Comfort me and calm every worry, for you know what I need before I ask, and you hear the poor who cry out to you.
Strengthen me with your strength, fill me with your wisdom, and guide me by your light in all my steps.
Heal me and heal those I love, and restore what has been broken in body, mind, and spirit.
Forgive me my trespasses and my many shortcomings, as I forgive those who trespass against me, and release the burdens I carry so I may walk free.
Keep your hand upon me and my family, and deliver us from all evil.
We also have a silent request.
We offer you a promise of this quiet act of kindness done in secret today, and we ask that you accept it.
I lift up my family, my friends, and all your children, and I place their needs and their well-being into your care.
Watch over them, provide for them, and draw them close to you.
I surrender myself and all that I am to you, trusting fully in your will, and I will acknowledge you before others as you acknowledge me before our Father in heaven.
Bless me, bless my family, and bless all who hope in you.
We pray these things to you our Lord God, through Christ. And It Is So.
