Heavenly Father, You who made the heavens and the
earth and the sea and all that dwell therein. We pause
this day to acknowledge that You are great and Your
greatness is unsearchable! Great are your thoughts
toward us and we thank You! You have made us for
Your glory and praise and we worship You! From
generation to generation, we bless and praise Your
Holy Name. Cause us to grow in the knowledge of
You and to love You with all our heart, our soul
and our strength through Christ Jesus, who has
brought about our salvation. Amen.

~
Heavenly Father, we give you praise and thanks.
In the time of trouble, you have surrounded us with
songs of deliverance. We bless you Lord God for your
great love towards us. You shepherd your flock and
bring them to your safe haven. You carry those who are
wounded and you bind up their wounds. Let your
comforts delight the souls of your children today.
Speak peace to the troubled waters, and cause
them to rejoice, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
~
Heavenly Father, I thank you for in you we live and
move and have our being. Therefore, cause our hearts
to rest in you, who remembers our frame is but dust.
Strengthen the hearts and minds of your children today.
Your children often worry about many things, but worry
will not do anything good for us. Give us wisdom and
understanding we pray. Enlighten our hearts, for we
are safe and secure in the bundle of the Lord. Let your
peace rule in our hearts today, for there is nothing to
fear when our hope and trust is in you. You know us
each by name; the very hairs of our head you have
numbered. Teach us to trust you more and more
in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

mercy and lovingkindness. We give You honor and praise
in the earth, we sound abroad Your greatness! Our hope and
trust is in You. You will never leave us nor forsake us; we are
Yours. You know how to deliver those who fear Your Name.
Your mercy extends to all Your creation -- draw near to
that one who is brokenhearted, to that one who is oppressed,
and depressed. Spirit of God, melt the fears of that anxious
heart. Soothe and comfort the souls of those who are
suffering silently. Bring out the prisoners; give strength to
the weak, and let your glory fill the earth as the waters
cover the sea! Amen.
~
Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness and
Your mercies. We don't have to fret and be anxious for
anything. As we commit our ways unto you and trust in You,
we can rest comfortably and joyfully, knowing that in due time,
yes, at the proper time, you will grant us the desires of our
hearts. Your grace will sustain us as you teach us patience,
for we have need of it.

Strengthen and renew the minds of your children, that we
grow not weary while doing good, for in due season we shall
reap if we don't lose heart.

To God be the glory through Christ our Lord, who performs
His promises.
~
Lord God in heaven, we give you praise! Your name

and Lord we thank You. What a sacrifice -- that God should
bruise His only Son. You died to set us free from the law of
sin and death. You have rent the veil into two and bid us
to enter Your Holy presence. You have extended Your
scepter of righteousness -- whosoever will may come.
Lord Jesus, draw those who are still wandering. Give us

Lord God who changes not, we bless and praise Your
holy name. From generation to generation
You remain the same. What You did in times of old
You are still doing now. You are God full of
power and majesty. You are great and worthy
to be praised. May the hearts and souls of Your
children be strengthened this day. You have called
us from the ends of the earth, and showed
us Your salvation. Be glorified upon the earth; be
exalted above the nations. Let the peoples see
Your glory and give you praise. Amen.

Glory to your Name O God who causes your children
to triumph. We thank you for your word that is sure; it will
always, without fail accomplish your purposes. We can rest our
lives on this word. Cause your children this day to rejoice
and be glad, even in the midst of their many afflictions,
having the blessed assurance and calm, that you will cause
them to sprout and bud, and flourish like the green herb in
what appears to be desolate ground, for our roots are
planted by the rivers of water, that is your word.
Blessed is your Name forever. Amen.

Lord God, we give you praise and thanks,
for Your mercy endures forever.
You have not changed -- as You were in
the days of old, so are You today; from
generation to generation, Your faithfulness and
Your mercy You have made known.
It is good to sing praises and to rejoice in
You, for You are good, and worthy of
our love and praise, for You made us that
we might bring you glory. Thank You
from our hearts today, for Your mercy
endures forever. Amen.

Lord God who art in heaven, we bless and praise
Your holy name. You are reliable and
trustworthy. You are God who saves to the
uttermost, and we thank You for Your great salvation.
What you have said you will do, you shall
surely bring to pass. Your word runs swiftly in
the earth and is sharp and powerful. Let Your will
be done on earth as it is in heaven. Rejoice
this day the hearts of your children, and let us rejoice
exceedingly. Fill us with knowledge and with
understanding, and be glorified in our lives.
Amen.

Lord God, we thank You this day for being the
shepherd of our lives. You keep us safe
from evil, and preserve our souls in the land of
the living. You will guide us until our days
here are over. We bless and praise
Your holy name. May You bring Your other
sheep to the fold that they too may
delight in Your pasture. For there is no place
like Your presence. Thank you for
hearing and answering our prayers. Amen.
