Give me faith
Oh God, you have called me to be your own and to live in the grace of your kindness now and forever. Give me faith to appreciate it and live with confidence as your dear child. When you act in my life for my good, remind my doubting heart that you are not interrupting something more important but improving what I wouldn't be able to improve by myself. Amen.

Send your Holy Spirit
Dear Jesus, by your living, dying, and rising you have changed the world. You have changed me. Send your Holy Spirit to continue to change my sin and selfishness to service. And with your guidance let me change the world. Help me to be committed enough and strong enough, patient enough and wise enough, compassionate enough and forgiving enough to do something good for others—only because of what you have done for me. Amen.

Slow the hurried pace
Lord God, in all the busyness of life help me to find time to contemplate the greatness of your power and love. Forgive me when work or play becomes more important than you. Slow the hurried pace of my life so that I may listen to the still, small voice of your Word and be refreshed. Amen.

Believing in you
Almighty God, you chose us to be your own. You loved us so much that even though you expect perfection, you gave us a way out. You forgave us and sent your son, Jesus, to take the punishment for all the wrongs we have done by dying on the cross. And as if that wasn't enough, Jesus rose again and has prepared a place for us to live with him in our eternal paradise. Please be with us as we share this awesome message with others. Amen.
