Dear Heavenly Father,
We praise your holy and precious Name. We give you glory for all you’ve done in and through our lives, for giving the Lord Jesus to be the Author and Finisher of our faith and your Holy Spirit to walk alongside us as we go through the trials that mature our faith.
Thank you, too, for the people you’ve so lovingly placed in our lives that we might pray for and encourage one another on this life’s journey.
I pray whatever we do in this life we would would make it our goal to be pleasing to you, our Lord and Master. Whether it’s serving as a missionary across the world or being a good neighbor, whether it’s helping in children’s ministry or doing the dishes, whether it’s visiting the sick in hospitals or driving through rush hour traffic with all humility, may we do it all for you, Lord.
You are our joy and hope, you are the reason we live and everything we do we do for you. Help us remember to live every day in such a way that when we face you at the Bema Seat of Christ, we will not be ashamed, but we will have lived a life that brought your light and fragrance to a lost and dying world and glorified you in everything we did.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray, amen.
