Lord God,
We seek You and we desire
a deeper relationship with You.
We pray that You would open our
hearts and minds to Your word today.
You put each of us where we are for a reason.
Help us to understand Your desire for us.
Give us the strength and the will
to do what You would have us do,
in thanks and praise for all that You have done for us.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
