Almighty and Everlasting God,
We come before You in humility and gratitude, acknowledging Your sovereignty and majesty. We thank You for Your constant love and grace, and for the blessings You have bestowed upon us and our loved ones.
We ask that You continue to guide us in Your wisdom and truth, giving us the strength to overcome any trials and challenges that may come our way.
We lift up our homes, relationships, and work to You, asking for Your protection, provision and favor. We ask that You bless our finances and give us the means to be a blessing to others.
We pray for the well-being of our families and loved ones, for their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. We confess our trust in You, knowing that all things work together for our good, according to Your divine will.
We give You glory and praise, for You are a good and loving God, and we trust in the power of the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Suggested Bible Readings
Psalm 1:1-3 ESV
Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
Proverbs 10:22 ESV
The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.
James 1:25 ESV
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
Psalm 34:8 ESV
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
