Dear Lord God,

Thank You for my life on Your wondrous creation, full of beauty and perfection. You are God almighty of heaven and earth, all-powerful, full of steadfast love and faithfulness, slow to anger, merciful and gracious.

Loosen my grip on my ego and pride so that I can do more for You. Strengthen my grip on Your sword and shield. Enlarge my borders, increase my blessings, make abundant my resources.

Grant that I am an effective servant. Grant that it is Your will, not mine that is done. Cast Your goodness upon me and my family. Protect us with Your shield.

Form me, shape me, grow me into the likeness of Christ. Work through me. Choose me. Bring me to people I need and to people who need me. Your will be done, today and every day.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
