Lord,
Thank you for saving me
into an eternal relationship with you,
enjoying your wonderful presence moment by moment.
Thank you for saving me
into the fellowship of believers,
who love you, know you,
and shine various facets
of your beauty and life.
I pray for wise, godly companions,
holy, righteous, devoted,
courageous, bold, and pure hearted,
who love your Word,
who walk in your Spirit,
that I may walk strengthened
in your counsels and in your ways,
urged on to stand firm in my faith.
Grant me opportunities to use my gifts
to build up the body and your kingdom of grace
according to your will.
Root and ground me in your Word
that I may be a tree planted by
streams of living water,
replenish me so that I can give,
bearing fruit in every season.
Establish me and use me
that I may be your hands, feet, and heart,
your blessing in this world.
Lord, you are so worthy
and I bless your Name today.
Amen.
