Gracious God,
Give us spiritual insight and understanding,
so that we would be able to see things from your
point of view.
May our words and actions bring credit to Your name
and joy to Your heart;
may all that we do bear fruit for Your kingdom,
and may we come to know and love You more each
day.
Strengthen us with Your power
so that we would be able to joyfully endure whatever
comes our way,
and give thanks to You even in the midst of pain and
suffering.
Thank You for rescuing us from the power of
darkness,
and bringing us into the glorious light of Your
kingdom.
All praise to Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in whom we have found redemption and
forgiveness. Amen.
