Father, I thank you for the gifts of faith, love, purpose, and hope.
Give us a complete understanding of what you want to do in our lives,
and make us wise with spiritual wisdom.
May the way we live always honor and please you.
Grant that we may continually do good, kind things for others
and learn to know You better and better.
We pray that You will strengthen us with Your glorious power so that we will have all the patience and endurance we need.
May we be filled with joy, always thanking You, Father--for You have enabled us to share in the inheritance that belongs to Your holy people who live in the light.
You have rescued us from the one who rules in the kingdom of darkness, and You have brought us into the kingdom of Your dear Son.
You have purchased our freedom by Your sacrifice and forgiven all our sins.
You have taken the broken, dislocated pieces of our lives and made us whole.
Help us to spread Your Truth.
Teach us to depend on Christ’s mighty power that works within us.
(Paraphrased from Colossians 1)
