Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with hearts full of gratitude for all the blessings we have received. We thank you for both the seen and unseen blessings, for the work that happens behind the scenes that we may not fully understand. We acknowledge that every good and perfect gift comes from you, and we are truly grateful.
Lord, we ask for your peace to fill our spirits. We recognize that there are things in our lives that may be causing unrest and shaking us. We pray that you would grant us the peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, as your Word promises.
In our search for wisdom, we turn to your Word, knowing that it holds the answers we need. We ask that you would open our hearts and minds to receive the wisdom and guidance that you have for us. Help us to discern your voice and follow your ways.
Father, we also seek your forgiveness and mercy. We acknowledge that we are imperfect and in need of your grace. We pray that you would help us to extend that same grace to ourselves and others. Teach us to forgive as you have forgiven us.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for joy. May this day and every day be filled with the joy that comes from knowing you and walking in your ways. May our hearts be filled with joy that overflows and impacts those around us.
Thank you, God, for hearing our prayers. We trust that you are faithful to answer according to your perfect will. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
