“just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.” Ephesians 1:4

Dear Heavenly Father, Creator of all,

We praise You and thank You. Thank You for making the irredeemable, redeemable. Thank You for the opportunity and great blessing and joy to be made holy by surrendering our will to Yours in all things; to empty ourselves so that Your Spirit may guide us; and that in this state, all things work for good.

Thank You for the opportunity to be blameless through Your sacrament of reconciliation and forgiveness. May we truly repent by surrendering to Your perfect will and timing.

Grant that we trust You in all things; a full measure of our true love.

Grant that we remain full of appreciation and love for what Your Son, Jesus the Christ, did for a sinner like me.

Thank You, amen.
