“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”
1 John 5:14

Ever-gracious Father, who…

• pours out abundant blessings on us (specify them)
• provides for our every need whether physical, emotional or spiritual

We give you thanks for…

• accepting us just as we are with all our faults and flaws
• sustaining us through these difficult times
• the love we experience from you, our family, our church family and others
• the opportunities we have to show love (agape) every day of our lives

Forgive us when we…

• allow things or people other than you to come first in our lives
• let you down in our thoughts, words or actions
• put ourselves first rather than considering others
• give into selfishness, greed and pride rather than showing the selflessness, generosity and humility you require

We ask, Almighty God, that you…

• have mercy on our world and bring an end to the pandemic
• help all those struggling to bring peace and justice to our world
• save us and restore us as individuals, families and communities in keeping with your will

For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever,
Amen
