Dear Lord,
We have many faults that we struggle to overcome.
On our own, we fail; our success lies in Your power.
We invite You into this place and into our hearts.
Your love gives us comfort and courage.
Your Spirit sustains us and lights our way.
May Your love in us give others comfort and light.
We pray that You would soften the hearts of
those we encounter, and lead them to the
blessed hope of salvation through our
Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ,
in whose name we pray.
Amen.

Lord God,
You created a perfect world for us to
live in, and we soiled it with our sin.
You still loved us and provided for us.
You gave the Israelites food and water
in the midst of the harsh desert.
You protected Elisha with chariots of fire.
You go to great lengths to protect
and save Your people.
You went so far as to send Your own Son
to die for us so that we may be reconciled.
We should fear nothing in this world
because You care for us and take care of us.
We are blessed by Your provision, protection
and redemption. Thank You! In Jesus' name.
Amen.

Lord God,
We want to get to know You better.
We pray that You would open our
hearts and minds to Your word.
Only through Your word and the
power You provide can we endure
our hardships and even overcome them.
We put our lives in Your hands
and trust You with the outcome.
In the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus.
Amen.

Lord God in heaven,
We are all sinners in need of the cleansing power of our Savior, Jesus.
By faith, we're no longer stuck in the mud and filth of our sinful ways.
By faith and through the power of Your Holy Spirit,
You have given us sure footing on the Rock of our salvation
where we are washed and made free of our sins.
We love and praise You for the grace and mercy You've shown us.
In Jesus' holy name,
Amen.

Holy Father,
Only You can take ignorant,
blind sinners and make us new.
Open our eyes to Your truth.
Give us wisdom so that we are not deceived.
Bring us to full repentance so that we may see
the fulfillment of Your promise to us.
We thank you for Your steadfast love,
mercy and faithfulness.
In Jesus' holy name,
Amen.
