Gracious God, thank you for including us in your family. We are blessed to be your children and to know that we belong to you.
Whenever we are feeling down and discouraged, remind us that this is when we can be filled the most with your grace and your love. Thank you for having a special place in your heart for the least, the last, and the lost. With you, we have everything we need.
We especially pray this morning for those who are in need of your healing, your comfort, your guidance, your mercy, and your peace. Bless those who are on our prayer list as well as others who are on our hearts and minds.
And thank you for the many blessings in our lives, many of which we often take for granted like being able to be here in worship this morning. We truly do have more blessings from you than we often realize.
And maybe this is why you gave us The Lord’s Prayer to say because it reminds us of the many gifts you offer to us, our daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from all that would keep us from being the people you have called us to be.
With grateful hearts, we now pray this prayer that Jesus taught us to say.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
