Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. Thank You for Your unfailing love and mercy. Your Word reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." We are grateful for the opportunity to lift our voices in prayer and seek Your face.
Lord, we ask that You sanctify our prayer, making it holy and acceptable in Your sight. As it is written in Hebrews 10:22, "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water." Cleanse us, O Lord, and purify our intentions.
We pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who has taught us to come boldly before the throne of grace. Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for the assurance that You are with us always. Sanctify our prayer, O Lord, and let it be a sweet aroma before You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
