Holy Father,
We were created to worship You.
We pray that our worship be solely based in Your truth.
You are our Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer
and we study Your ways in order to live in
righteousness and self-control; to honor You.
We pray for the traits and tools
to share with the world that Jesus lives
and will return to redeem and restore God's people.
In His holy name we pray.
Amen.

Lord God,
We thank You for loving us.
Each of us is valuable to You
and we all have a purpose.
All things - and all people -
work together to fulfill Your will on earth.
We pray for the patience and endurance to continue
to do good even when we can't see the benefit.
We pray for faith to know that You are at work in us
even when we don't get to see the fruit of our labor.
We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus,
into this world to be our perfect example of
how to live, and in His death, our perfect Savior.
In His holy name we pray.
Amen.

Father God,
Sometimes popular opinion leans away from You.
It can be hard to speak Your truth amongst
those who mock and belittle us.
We need not look for our comfort here on earth,
but keep our eyes fixed on the prize; on You.
We look forward to an eternity of comfort with You.
While we're on this earth, You've promised to always be with us.
Your strength backs us up. Your Spirit keeps us on track.
We pray that when we're faced with difficult decisions
You'll give us the courage and wisdom to make the right choices.
In Jesus' holy name,
Amen.

Lord God,
The bible says that You are our fortress.
Like strong walls, Your love surrounds
us every minute of every day.
We live in a fallen world where bad things happen.
But You are with us: loving us, comforting us, and guiding us.
We are blessed to know You; to feel Your power,
to study Your word and to praise You with song.
Thank You for Your constant love, guidance and provision.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Holy Father,
Too often we are consumed with guilt over our past,
immersed in our current problems, or worried about our future.
But Paul wrote that we should meditate on what is true, noble,
right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy.
That's a perfect description of You!
Help us to keep our focus on You, and give us the peace
that comes from total faith in Your goodness and mercy.
We praise You in Jesus' holy name.
Amen.
