Heavenly Father,
Thank You for waking us up this morning and giving us another day to experience Your love and share it with others. We’re humbled by how You choose to use us in ways that we often don’t even realize. God, we’re so grateful for the countless miracles You’ve placed in our lives—both big and small. Your goodness, Your mercy, and Your grace are beyond what we deserve, and we praise You for being so faithful. You carry us when life feels overwhelming and when joy overflows, and we lift Your name high.
Your name, Father, is holy and above all others. There’s power in Your name, and we honor You today. We speak and sing of Your goodness because You are worthy of all our praise.
Lord, I lift up every name on these walls to You. You know each person’s story, their struggles, their hopes, and their fears. I pray You meet them right where they are, even in their most desperate moments, and remind them that nothing is impossible for You. God, we confess that we’ve tried to handle life on our own. Forgive us for the times we’ve relied on ourselves instead of running to You. Teach us to trust You in all things and walk in the confidence that comes from being held by You.
Father, we ask for you to forgive us for falling short. We mess up daily, and we know our sin separates us from You. Please cleanse us, create in us a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within us. Help us extend that same forgiveness to those who have hurt us, just as You have forgiven us.
Grow in us the fruits of Your Spirit, Lord—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Prune anything from our lives that doesn’t bear these fruits, so we can reflect You more fully.
God, keep us from giving in to temptation. Lead us away from the distractions, the lies, and the things that pull us away from Your heart. Guard our minds and our steps, and deliver us from all that is not of You.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever. We love You, Lord, and we pray all of this in the mighty, holy name of Jesus.
