Celebrating God's Goodness
Day of prayer
Let us pray:
Almighty one, let your mercy prevail over us, O God, breathe upon us afresh and renew our mindset until it overflows with gratitude and thankfulness as we celebrate with appreciation your goodness, grace, and mercy. May we experience a renewed sense of hope and joy as we celebrate with a grateful heart your sacrificial offering for our redemption. Help us to rejoice not just in the blessings we receive but in the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died to redeem sinners. Draw us closer to you and prepare us to welcome you in our hearts, minds, and souls, O God. May this season of refreshing deepen our faith and fill us with the wonders of your presence, bringing us to a place where we recognize that you are our only redeemer, the only wise God, and Savior capable of breaking the chains of bondage to set us free.
Mighty God, while we spread good cheers and boast in our vanities, may we take the time to spread your good tidings every chance and opportunity that presents itself. Lord, we are prone to wander, prone to err and drift, but we call upon you, Lord, to keep our minds and hearts focused on you. Come, Lord Jesus, and dispel the darkness of our world with the light of your love. Emmanuel, God with us, may you find us watchful, cheerfully waiting, proclaiming your word, and living according to your will. May we stand firm on your word, shouting out praises unto you, glorifying and honoring you for rescuing us from the perils of darkness.
In the same breath, we beseech you,
Lord, to shield, protect, and keep us safe from accident, incident, harm, and
danger. Empower us to stand resolute and steadfast in our faith as we depend on
you wholeheartedly. Prepare us, O God, to be ready for your second appearance
when you will come not as our savior but to judge us according to the secrets
of our hearts. Guide our weary souls to you, O God, through Jesus Christ our
Redeemer. Amen.
AMEN
