Let me always have faith that you will lead me on the right path. The experiences that you have put me through have led me to become the person I am today. I am forever thankful for the people in my life currently and the ones that have come and gone out of it. Amen.

One and only God, wondrous, beautiful, and king of creation, I thank you for everything you have done for me. I am blessed to say that at least all of us have someone to turn to when that is not you. You continue to bless me with a meal and shelter each and every day. When my wrongs separate us, you will forgive me and for that I will praise you.

We pray for our health, mentally and physically.
Help us, O God, maintain and improve our role as Your child,
Guide us through our toughest times and lowest points.
Each one of Your children are different and unique.
Help us learn to love ourselves for who You made us to be, to teach others to respect ourselves as much as we should respect our bodies and souls You gave us.
Take care of our families, on earth and in heaven, and to help love each other more,
We, your children, seek guide to improve ourselves and to learn more about each other instead of accusing and punishing.
Guide us all throughout our lives and give us hope for what You have planned for our lives.
Amen

O God, please help us to find truth and be humble and courageous.
Let us always be accepting of suffering and be brave through hard times.
May we always have a creative mind and explore new things.
Let us build a bridge to the relationship we have with you by hope and love.

Heavenly Father, please help people who are in poverty.
Help people who are threatened with eviction and bless those who help and support the poor.
Bless those who devote their lives to You.
We believe in consubstantial, which means Christ is of the same substance or nature as the Father.
We are united as one and we always will be.
The definition of truth is an endless, complex pursuit, and good men and women have suffered the pain of both controversy and error.
Help us live in harmony.
May You bless those who suffer for others.
Amen.

and pray that no one is harmed or put in danger during their travels.
We pray this in your name.
Amen.
