Dear God who created Heaven and all that is our beautiful world,
Thank you for being in our lives and for the incredible gift of being able to know you personally and to come to you in prayer.
Thank you for continuing to forgive our sins as we continue to commit them.
Thank you that each new day allows us a new opportunity to embrace and appreciate the beauty of your world - and to touch the lives of others.
In the midst of our wavering physical, mental and spiritual health, thank you for healing us.
In the midst of our despair, thank you for giving us hope.
In the midst of our weakness, thank you for always giving us the strength we need.
In the midst of anxiety, uncertainty and confusion, thank you for sending us peace, comfort and discernment.
Help us to tune out the 'noise' of this world and sit in silence so we can hear your voice.
Hear our prayers gracious God. In Jesus' name we pray...Amen
