Father, thank You so much for all that You have given to us.  i am in a state of constant gratitude for the blessings You have bestowed on my life and to the lives of those i love.

i want to praise You and thank You for bringing my son home safely to his bed where he is sleeping now.  i beg You to please send angels with him in the next few weeks as he begins to condition his body for football.  please keep him, his teammates, and his coaches safe as they prepare for an upcoming season.

Father, i humbly present myself to You as someone who has allowed ego to enter and control her life, especially with a person You have brought to show me how to worship and pray to You.  if there is a chance to correct my errors in this situation, please allow me to do so.  if there is no chance, then i graciously accept Your will because You have a greater plan than i have for myself.

i ask You, Father, to help me in my quest for awareness and humility.  i seek Your guidance and counsel in my every day life so that i may live my Divine purpose.

please hold in the palm of Your healing hands those who are hurting physically, emotionally, and mentally especially my mother, my brother, my father, my sister, my son, and me.  please shine Your love on my friends who are suffering from anxiety and stress and doubt and fears.  please hold them close to You in this time of darkness.

thank You, Father, for the smallest blessings and graces that i may not always notice.  the human angels You put in my path add such a love and peace in my life, and may i know when to let go so that they may continue their work in other lives.

i ask You to strengthen me, Blessed Mother, in my heartbreak and in my temporary sufferings.  i ask that i lean on You humbly and not be tempted.  please take those from my life who serve no purpose other than to lead me on a path away from what is the will of my Lord.

in Jesus' name, i pray.

amen.
