Our God and our Rock,

You reveal Yourself to us through Your beautiful, intricate creation,

through Your word, and through Your perfect son, Jesus.

We pray that we may know You more and more each day,

and that the fruit of our labor honors You.

We thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice on the cross

so that all believers can look forward to a new life with You in heaven.

In the name of our risen savior, Jesus.

Amen.

Holy Father,

Fighting the enemy - the devil - is not an easy task.

Our only hope is to look to Your word

and rely on Your wisdom and strength.

To paraphrase Paul’s words to the Philippians -

This is our prayer: that our love may abound

more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

so that we may be able to discern what is best

and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes

through Jesus Christ - to the glory and praise of God.

Amen. 

Holy Father,

We thank You for this day and for all that You provide for us.

We praise You for Your word that brings us life.

Help us to walk in Your ways.

We pray that what we do will set a positive example for others.

May our actions show kindness, sincerity, faith and love

and bring others closer to You, by the power of Your Holy Spirit

and faith in Your Son, our Savior Jesus, in whose name we pray.

Amen.

Dear Lord,

All Your words are true; all Your righteous laws are eternal.

We know that we don’t always follow Your laws.

Our sin burdens us.

But You know our thoughts and our hearts.

We come to You in repentance and submission,

and by Your grace and mercy we are freed of our guilt.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior who daily bears our burdens.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
