Holy Father,

We are by nature sinful;

influenced by the world, the devil and the flesh.

Yet You love us! You want what’s best for us.

You provided a means to our salvation through Your Son, Jesus.

All this not because of anything we’ve done,

but as a free gift out of Your great love and kindness.

We are eternally grateful and we live out our thankfulness

in a life of service to You.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
