Prayer 2

Blessed God of all that is. I praise you for all that you are. No one is more loving, trustworthy, holy, or beautiful than you.  

Thank you for blessing me with an abundance of food, clothing, and shelter and for blessing me with education, safety, wealth, and a job. Thank you for allowing me to live in a prosperous country where I can provide myself with all of these needs and luxuries. Thank you for offering your son for the sins of the world and for transforming me into His image so I can glorify you in everything I do.  

Yet there are times when I don’t glorify you in everything I do. For as Paul said in Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Forgive me for failing to be the human you created me to be and help me to eradicate all sin from my life.

I ask that you would help me to always remember how loving, trustworthy, holy, and beautiful you are and allow that knowledge to compel me to live a life that reflects your nature. I ask that you cure and uplift the sick in the church all over the world. And I ask that you would heal our nation of the corruption and depravity that plagues it from the highest to lowest levels of our society.   

And when life on this present earth has ended, my hope is that you would glorify me with an immortal and incorruptible body in which I can live in Heaven with you for all eternity. All of this I ask in your son’s name. Amen.​
