Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your wonderful gifts.' I am especially thankful for the gift of discernment.' Thank you, for the many times You have saved me from bad situations that I would have engaged in, if it were not for You warning me. I do thank you for spiritual eyesight. Lord, I pray today that I will always walk in Your way and will seek to avoid strife and be a peace maker.' You said, "Blessed are the peace makers".' I need Your blessings today so I seek to be at peace with those around me.' Help me to solve my differences in a peaceful way, according to Your will.' I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Dear Father, Thank you for Your many blessings. ' When I really stop to count them all, there is no end to every blessing that you have given me.' Every breath I take is a blessing.' It is a blessing to be able to see, hear, walk and talk. You have granted me blessings in the many friends and family that I have.' Thank you also, for all the physical and material blessings I have. ' I do appreciate them, but they are overshadowed by Your blessings of peace, love and joy that I have in my heart. Thank you, that You have redeemed me from the curse of sin and death and have given me eternal life.' I am very grateful for what Jesus did for me on the cross. Lord, help me to live the Christian life before others, so that they might receive Your blessings too.' In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Dear Father, Thank you for the youth of this nation that know you and are attempting to follow you and your ways.' I know it is not easy for them in a society such as ours.'' Give them grace and strength to live the Christian life. Give them the holy boldness to witness to their peers. ' Lord, help me as a parent and grandmother to be the kind of example that will inspire my children and grandchildren to want to know You and follow you.' Give my offspring respectful hearts for their elders and all those in authority, even as You have instructed. I pray that I will also have a respectful attitude for those in authority. Lord, even when those in authority may be wrong, give me the grace to honor the office they represent. Let me be an honorable example to the youth of our day.' In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Dear Father, I am grateful for your many blessings.' Thank you for opening my eyes to Your truths and for your many promises to me.' I do want to become wiser, so help me to study and understand the Bible. Open my spiritual ears to hear the things I need to understand at this time. Thank you for the knowledge You have already given me, but I desire to know more, so that I might know You more.' I want my relationship with You to be closer than ever before. Please give me the desire to pray more and to read the Bible more. Forgive me when I neglect these two very important things. Thank you for the promise of health for me. I receive that promise so that I might be about Your business. How wonderful You are to me and all of Your children. Keep my family and friends in Your health and bless them too. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving us instructions in the Bible on how to have a long and good life.' Lord, I know that when I pray and ask you to watch over me and my loved ones, that You hear, and You answer my prayers.' You are such a wonderful Father!' I am grateful for Your love and watch care. I desire to walk in the pathway of life, so Lord, I would ask that You keep me on that path.' Please warn me when I am straying, so that I do not get off the straight and narrow way. I realize that I can be blinded by my own desires and ideas, that at times, look good to me, but might not be good later on.' Help me to today, not to be discouraged by what seems like a delay in the answer to my prayers.' I know as I continue to look to You in faith, You will prevail in my behalf.' In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven, I am thankful for the light you have given me.' Strengthen me to remain on the right path. I do pray for grace, not only to resist temptation, but to flee from it.' Lord, I also pray for those that I know who are struggling right now to get free from addiction or other sins. Deliver them from evil and help them to get back on track with you.' Lord, help me not to criticize them, but to be compassionate and lift them in prayer until they are free.' I do forgive them for the troubles that some of them have brought to my life. ' I know that if I did not have your grace and mercy in my life, I could also be taken captive by the devil.' Should I fall, Lord, I would want someone praying for me, so I ask that You be merciful to them, so that I might also obtain mercy when I need it.' In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am so glad that you gave up Your son, Jesus, so that I could know You and be saved from hell. I do not understand why You did it, but I am very grateful for the gift of eternal life. I rejoice that my name is written in the "Book of Life." Lord, I need to read and study Your Word more. Help me give up the things that are robbing me of the time I need to be spending with you. I know if I put prayer and Bible study first, then You will make a way for me to take care of all my pressing responsibilities. Things just go better when I take the time to spend with You.' I also thank you for health in my body. I am grateful You are not only my savior, but my healer as well.' I ask for strength and health today so that I might serve You and those around me. In Jesus name, I pray.' Amen.

Dear Father, I realize that I have been guilty of not guarding what has gone into my heart. Forgive me Lord, for this sin. I have also been guilty of allowing the wrong things to come out of my mouth at times.' Also, please forgive me for the things that I have spoken that have come from a wrong heart attitude.' Lord Jesus, I would like to make the words of the Christian song, "Change My Heart, Oh God" to be my prayer today:

Change my heart, oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart, oh God
May I be like you

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Change my heart, oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart, oh God
May I be like you
