Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up our praises.
You are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
We trust in You, Lord, with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding.
In all our ways, we acknowledge You, and we ask that You direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lord, create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us (Psalm 51:10).
Let Your Word be “a lamp to our feet and a light to our path” (Psalm 119:105).
Teach us to “be still and know that You are God” (Psalm 46:10),
And to “rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
May we love You, Lord, with all our hearts, souls, and minds,
And love our neighbours as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39).
Guide us in Your truth and teach us, for You are the God of our salvation (Psalm 25:5).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
