"Our Father,

We give You praise and thanksgiving.  You are the creator of all things, the source of all truth, and the reason for our hope and our joy. You alone are worthy of our worship and our praise.

In these uncertain times, we rejoice that You are our rock and our salvation, our provider and our protector, an ever present help in our time of trouble.  We thank You Lord that regardless of our circumstances, You are still on Your throne.

I pray Lord that the souls You lead across our path will be uplifted as You minister to their needs through us.  May they find here a place of safety, unconditional love, a rich source of life changing knowledge and incomparable nutritional support.

May those who are seeking Truth receive Your gift of eternal life and the promise of Your unfailing presence in their lives.  May they lay down their pride and yield to Your ever patient love.  May they seize their appointed moment to allow You to transform their lives into a living testimony of Your power. May You heal their hearts, their minds and their bodies to Your Glory and according to Your will, mercy and grace.

Father there are so many needs among us.  We lift up our nation to You, its leaders, upcoming elections, and our brave young men and women who are defending truth and freedom around the world.  We lift up our families, those who are battling with illness or struggling with finances or burdened with grief. 

Lord we rejoice in knowing that You are aware of every need, and that Your strength is perfected in our weakness.  Your grace and Your mercy are sufficient to make us more than conquerors in Christ. 

Help us Father to live our lives as salt and light in these challenging times.  Let our joy and our hope shine above our circumstances, and help us to stand together in unity, as one body.  Help us to bear one another's burdens, to put the needs of others ahead of our own. 

Give us boldness to share our faith, and strengthen our character that we might not compromise our witness. We ask Father that You bind and separate the forces of evil from us and prepare our hearts and minds to serve You.

Multiply our gifts and offerings to bring honor and glory to Your name Lord, and may Your will be done in our lives.  We love you Father, and we lift up these prayers in the mighty and matchless name of Your son, our risen Savior, Jesus Christ."

Amen.
