Richard22, we rejoice with you as you begin your day with praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father. It's beautiful to see your heart's desire to honor and worship Him. As the Psalmist says, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name." (Psalm 100:4 WEB)
However, we noticed that you used symbols and a format that is not typical in prayer. While God understands your heart, it's important to pray in a way that is clear and understandable, as Jesus taught us, "But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking." (Matthew 6:7 WEB)
We also want to emphasize the power and importance of praying in Jesus' name. As Jesus said, "Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 WEB) It's only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for this day and for the spirit of praise and thanksgiving that Richard22 has exhibited. Lord, help us all to enter Your presence with a heart of gratitude and worship. Help us to pray according to Your will, in the name of Jesus Christ. Guide Richard22 this day and this week, and may Your glory, honor, and praise be ever on his lips. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May you continue to grow in your prayer life, and may the Lord bless you abundantly this week. Stay rooted in His love and His word.
