Heavenly Father, what joy fills my heart for the precious little baby you have seen fit to bring into our family unit. I lift up my voice of praise to You, with a grateful heart for this little life that has been entrusted to me. Teach me to be a good and faithful mother and to take the responsibilities of motherhood seriously. Teach me also how to bring up my child to know You Lord Jesus, so that my precious little baby will grow up to accept You as their Saviour. And Lord, You Who loved to welcome the little children into your arms, open Your arms of love I pray for us, and keep us all safe from harms way, under the protection of Your wings of love. As this little bundle of joy starts to grow and develop, give me wisdom to teach and train, to correct and to encourage. May I be both fair and wise, and combine a balance between correction and encouragement. Guide our little family unit in the ways of peace I pray, and thank You my heavenly Father for the wonderful blessing that has come from You. In Jesus' name,�Amen. �When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, that we who trust in Christ as our Saviour have redemption through the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord and the forgiveness of all our sins, in accordance with the riches of Your grace.Lord, I have fallen so short of Your perfect standard. I know that I have no merit in me and no right-standing of myself. I know that without Christ, I would not be permitted to approach Your throne of grace, but praise God that the blood of Jesus Christ my Saviour, cleanses me and keeps on cleansing me from all my sin. Thank You. Father, that in Christ I am cleansed of all my unrighteousness by grace through faith in Him.Lord, I so often fall short of Your standard, for I know that Your holy standard it is impossible in my own strength, but I also know that in Christ my sins that were scarlet have been washed white as snow through His cleansing blood. Wash and keep on washing me I pray, just as Peter asked Jesus to wash and keep on washing him, on the night that He was betrayed. Just like Peter I need You Lord, always, for in this sinful body I so often fall prey to the old sin nature that seeks to draw me back to the world and hamper my witness for Jesus.Lord, I know that I am forever redeemed for which I praise Your holy name, but I now ask that You would help me to fly to You, to confess any sin or wrongdoing so that I may resume sweet fellowship with the Father, for You have promised believers that if we confess our sins You are always faithful to forgive us and cleanse us. I pray that day by day I may be washed with the Word so that I become more and more like Jesus and less and less like the person I used to be. In Jesus' precious name I pray,Amen.

Father God, how we praise and thank You for the cross of Christ and all that it has meant to the fallen race of man. Thank You, that by His death on the cruel cross, the redemption price for mankind has been paid in full, so that whosoever will, may come and receive Christ as Saviour and will be forgiven of their sins and eternally reconciled with the Father. Thank You that You have restricted Salvation to this one way - Salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross.. so that whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe in the only begotten Son of God, stands condemned already - because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.Thank You, Lord, for that old rugged cross, which conjures us such a shocking picture of suffering and shame and yet Lord, it has become the glorious symbol of life and hope and peace with God. Thank You for the blood of Christ that was spilt so willingly for me, so that a sinner such as I, could be washed in its cleansing flood and made whole by the healing stream that flowed from Your heart of love into my wretched life. Amazing love, how can it be that Christ my God should die for me. Thank You, in Jesus' name,Amen.

Thank You that though He was Your only begotten Son, He became our gracious example, and humbled himself and learned obedience from the many things that He suffered throughout His life.

Thank You, Lord, for loving me so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to die on my behalf on a cruel cross and take upon Himself my sins. Thank You that He identified with my sinfulness so that I might be identified with His righteousness, by grace through faith in Christ. How grateful I am that while I was still a lost sinner Christ died for me.�How thankful I am Lord, that You searched me out and found me and brought me back into Your family, even though I was dead in my sins and at enmity with You.

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for my Mom and for all the love and patience that she has tirelessly given to me throughout my life. I am so grateful for her and although I don�t often show her how much I love her, I do want to thank You with all my heart for blessing me with my dear mother.�Thank You for all the sacrifices that she has made for me on so many occasions, and for the way that she never seems to think about her own needs, but always tries to do what is best for me. And I am also very grateful for her faithful prayers for me, day by day, for I know that they have been instrumental in keeping me steady on those occasions when I might have gone astray.�I pray Your special blessing on my Mom and ask that You would guard her and protect her with good health. Fill her with Your comfort and joy, and may she grow ever closer to You in the days that lie ahead. I ask this in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Heavenly Father, how gracious You are to bring into my life my many precious friends, all of which have become so special to me in their own individual and unique way.�I feel so blessed to be surrounded with so many dear people that I love and care for, and for the knowledge that they also love and care for me too. And thank You for the support that I have so often received from different ones, during those times of difficulty and pain.�Thank You also, for the valuable lessons that I have learned even though some have been very difficult, and yet I have been have enabled through the loving support and encouragement of my friends, to grow spiritually and emotionally, and gain wisdom and insight in so many important ways.�Help me to be the sort of friend that is always there for others. An ear to listen, a hand to help and a heart to comfort. And help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus, so that I may be His hands, His ears, His heart and His comfort to the many precious people that You have place in my life. In Jesus' name I pray,�Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, how I thank and praise You for my parents who have been so faithful in loving and caring for me with such selflessness. I am so grateful that I was their child and that You saw fit for me to become part of their family.�I know that so often I have taken them for granted and have not been as helpful as I should, but their constant love and support throughout my life has become such a wonderful example of parenthood and I am so grateful for them both.�Draw close to them I pray, and surround them with Your loving arms. Bless them with both health and contentment and be to them a tower of strength, as the both are getting a little older. I ask this in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Dear Lord, as I look back over the years, I want to thank You for the many teachers that You placed in my path and for the wonderful ways that so many of them have influenced me for good, down through the pages of my life.�Thank You for the way that some have equipped me to look at life, and encouraged me to reach out to fulfil the potential that was within and have enabled my hidden gifts and talents to blossom and flourish for the benefit of others and to Your glory.�Thank You for those that helped me to focus on the task at hand, even when it seemed tedious, knowing that I have been enabled to achieve goals that appeared to be beyond my grasp and achieve objectives that seemed out of reach.�Thank You for the teachers that taught me compassion and brought me into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thank You for those that led me deeper into the Christian life and even corrected me when I started to err from the truth.�I pray that You would use me to be a teacher and an encouragement to others whom You may place in my path. May I faithfully fulfil Your commandment to love as Christ loved us, and to offer my life to You as a sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise. This I ask in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Father, we offer our grateful thanks and praise for the army of volunteers that quietly yet faithfully offered their services for the wellbeing and support of others.�We ask Your special blessing on each one, knowing that they are the unsung heroes that receive little thanks for their valuable contribution and who are so often taken for granted by those that they freely serve.�Provide for the needs of each one, and protect them from those that might intentionally or unwittingly exploit their generous nature. We ask this in Jesus' name,�Amen.

May Jesus continue to be glorified in all I say and do in His name I pray,�Amen.
Lord Jesus, I am so excited that my graduation ceremony is here and I want to place the whole day in Your hands and ask that You draw very close to me. Give me that perfect peace as well as an excited joy throughout the whole ceremony.�Thank You, Lord, for giving me this marvellous opportunity to study, to achieve my education goals and gain valuable life experience, which I pray will equip me in the days that lie ahead.�Thank You for granting me the focus and direction to complete my course of study successfully, and I ask that You would give me the determination to step out into life, trusting my future into Your hands, knowing that Your plan for my life is the very best path that I should take.��Lord, I feel that this day is the first day of my entire future and I want You to take the central place in my life. I give You my grateful thanks for always being there for me throughout my life up to this point, and ask that You would lead and guide me in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name,�Amen. �I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in the truth.� (3 John 1:4)

Heavenly Father, thank You for opening my eyes to the truth of Salvation, that only the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, 2000 years ago, can pay the price for my sin. Thank You, that by believing in Him I am forgiven.Thank You, that He became the Sacrifice for my sin, so that by believing in Him I can be redeemed from death and receive forgiveness of sins.I praise You for the incredible exchange that took place at the cross. He took my sin and gave me His righteousness. He died in my place so that I could live with You forever.Thank You, that I have been delivered from the domain of darkness and eternal separation from You and have been transferred in the the kingdom of Your dear Son.Thank You Father, for this wonderful transaction, which is Your free gift of Your grace to all who believe, and yet a price which cost You so dearly. Thank You that by His punishment for my sin, I have been pronounced righteous in Him and am seated with Him in heavenly places.Help me to walk in the light as He is in the light, and may the light of His countenance be reflected through me to others, so that they too may come to trust in the only begotten Son of God and receive forgiveness of their sins. I ask this in His dear names sake,Amen.
Loving Father, I just want to thank You for the wonderful way that You have kept me in such good health for so many years, and protected me from so many troublesome diseases.You have lifted me up when I have been down, supported me through times of weakness, and You have also healed me when I have succumbed to a bed of sickness.Keep me, I pray, in good health and strength. Let me run and not grow weary, and may I be used as a comfort and support to those that are not so fortunate as I. In Jesus' name,Amen. �Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.� (3 John 1:2)
Dear Father God, I come before You with a grateful heart for the many blessing that You bestow on us day by day, and praise You that Your mercies are new every morning and You have provided for all our needs, and more besides. You are a great and generous God. You are so good to all Your creation and have faithfully supplied all our needs, according to Your riches and grace, just as You have promised.I love that hymn where it says, �count your blessings, see what God has done,� and Father, I do count the many blessings that come from You day by day. Please forgive me for the times when I taken for granted the many gifts and graces that come from You. I could not draw another breath unless You give me the strength, and yet moment by moment, I am being kept in Your love and sustained by Your grace. Praise Your glorious name, for ever and ever,Amen.
Heavenly Father, what an astonishing happening took place on that first Christmas morning when the eternal Son of God was born into the human race as the perfect Son of Man, and was clothed in a Body of human flesh, a body that the Father had prepared for Him so that He could become our perfect Kinsman-Redeemer, and save a lost race of sinners from eternal separation from their Creator.It staggers the understanding that He should be born to die, so that we could be reborn to live. How we praise You Father at the wonder of it all, and we thank You that the good news of great joy which was proclaimed to men on earth, should be that Child Who was born of Mary and the Son Who was given by the Father should be called Jesus, Saviour. Help me never to lose the child-like wonder of the glory of that first Christmas morning, when my God and Saviour was born to die for me. I will praise Your name through time and into eternity, for You alone are worthy of all honour and praise. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Loving Father, thank You for being with me throughout today and for Your hand of blessing on my life. Thank You, for the way that You have led and guided me throughout this day, and I pray Your loving grace would rest on all that I have done � may it be to Your praise and glory. Loving Lord, You are my strength and my sufficiency and I pray that as I settle down for the night, that You would enable me to drift into a deep and quiet sleep and a peaceful rest. Remove any little tensions that may have built up over the day, so that I may wake refreshed in the morning and ready and willing to do Your bidding. Guard my unconscious thoughts Lord, and cover me with Your love. Draw me ever closer into Your loving arms. In Jesus' name,�Amen. �The Lord will send His faithful love by day; His song will be with me in the night- a prayer to the God of my life.� (Psalm 42:8)
Lord, thank You for friends and friendships and for the wonderful way that we have been designed by You to interact and compliment each other, and to be there to quietly support and encourage in times of sadness as well as joy. Father, I do thank You for this very special friend that you brought into my life at a time when he was most needed, and for the close bond of fellowship that has been growing between us ever since.Lord, I lift up this treasured friend of mine and thank You for the great blessing that he has been in my life, and for the wisdom and discernment that You have been gracious to bestow on him. I praise You for the way that You have been using and moulding him, training and equipping him, preparing and strengthening him to carry out Your plans and purposes in his life, to Your praise and glory.Thank You for his faithful witness, personal testimony, understanding heart and spirit of encouragement, and thank You Father, for the unique contribution he is making to the furtherance of Your kingdom. May he grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus and may he be enfolded in Your love and peace and hear You say, "well done good and faithful servant." In Jesus' name,Amen.
What a gracious God you are and worthy of all our praise and worship, for You are the God who created us to enjoy fellowship with one another and with You, and You formed us to be relational beings with both emotions and feelings. Thank You, Lord, for the wonderful friend that You have brought into my life, by Your grace. She has been such a joy and encouragement to me, and I have been able to see Your hand of blessing in our friendship from the very beginning, knowing that You were the one that drew us together in the first place and allowed such a beautiful relationship to develop.Lord, I do thank You for her, for she has been such a blessing to me and I praise and thank You for the wonderful things that You are doing in her life, by Your grace. Thank You for her grace and wisdom, her gentleness and devotion to You. Lord, she truly is an inspiration to me and I pray that You would continue to bless her and use her, strengthen and protect her, comfort and refresh her, and use her in the corner of Your field where You have placed her. May she grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus in the days that lie ahead and keep her looking to Jesus, in Whose name I pray,Amen.
Heavenly Lord and Gracious God, I want to thank You with all of my heart for the glorious plan that You purposed before the creation of the earth � that You would redeem sinful man by sending the eternal Son of God to become the prefect Son of Man, Who was willing to live a sinless life and to die a perfect death so that all who believe on His name would not be condemned but have eternal life and be made a part of God�s eternal family as His heavenly people.Thank You, that Jesus became the sinless Lamb of God, �Who takes away the sin of the world�. That You, that God the Father is reconciling the world to Himself and no longer counting our sins against any of us who believe in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, but rather is clothing us in His own spotless robe of righteousness, as His amazing gift of grace, which is received through simply believing on His name.Thank You, for the multitudes of men and women that have received this amazing gift of grace. Thank You, that You have redeemed me along with all who were lost in sin and heading for eternal hell and everlasting separation from You, but who believed the message of salvation and trusted Christ as Saviour.Thank You, that You now look on me as if I had never sinned, simply because I was placed �In Christ� the moment I believed on Him and was received into the family of God, and made an heir of God and joint-heir with Jesus Christ Himself. Thank You that there is no condemnation on any who have trusted the finished work of Jesus on Calvary�s cross.Lord, the more I contemplate Your great grace, Your unconditional love, Your prefect righteousness and Your long-suffering faithfulness, I am overwhelmed by what You have done for me. But I thank and praise You that I have joined that mighty cloud of witnesses that have been born of the Spirit in the Church-age, as part of Christ�s body,and look forward to the day when we will all be together in Your presence for ever and ever.Amen.
Thank You, Father, that I am born again and that You have saved me form sin and death, through Christ Jesus my Lord, that I have been born from above in spirit and truth. Lord, I just want to thank You for the wonderful things that took place the moment that I trusted in Jesus as Saviour. Thank You, that You transferred me from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your dear Son. Thank You, that I am accepted in Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son and have been clothed in His righteousness � Thank You that I have become a child of God and been made a joint-heir with Jesus.Thank You that in Him I am seated in heavenly places and that I have become eternally secure, having been given eternal life, by faith in Jesus Christ my Saviour. Thank You also for the understanding that the moment that I was born again, Your Holy Spirit baptised me, once and forever, into the body of Christ, that He placed me eternally into that body of believers that is called the Church. Thank You for this precious baptism into Christ and may I learn to grow in grace and in a knowledge Him Who loved me and gave Himself for me. Fill me day by day with Your Spirit. Lead and guide me in the days that lie ahead and thank You that in Christ I am saved by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone and that He did it all and it is finished. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. �For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.� (1 Corinthians 12:13)
Heavenly Father, we stand in awe and wonderment as we look back and reflect on the whole course of that crucifixion day of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all that it means to us personally, as well the incredible impact that it must have had on those that were there at the time, when the cruel nails were driven into His hands and feet and He was heard to pray, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Father, although I can easily look back with an eye of criticism on all who were instrumental in His death, and utter a word of condemnation on those who scorned and despised Him, yet as I reflect on the shocking treatment of our Lord, I realise that it was my sins that also nailed Him to the tree and I am equally as guilty of the death of Your only beloved Son, as Pontous Pilate, the Roman guards, the religious leaders of the Jews and the mocking crowd, for it was the weight of my sins that He carried to the cross and it was for me personally, that He died.Thank You, Father, that my sins were forgiven at the cross and instead of Your wrath being poured out on me, Jesus took the full force of Your righteous anger as Your judgement on sin fell on Him. Thank You, Lord, that instead of giving up on humanity when they killed Your beloved Son, that You chose to pour out 2000 years of grace upon grace, so that whosever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. May I never forget, ignore or trivialise the horror of sin and the tremendous price that Christ paid so that my sin could be forgiven, and thank You for Your great love for me. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Heavenly Father, we lift up our voice of praise to You, along with saints down through the ages Who have rejoiced that Jesus Christ won the victory over Satan, sin and death. How we thank You for His crucifixion on the cross, where He paid the price for our sin, and how we bless You for His glorious resurrection, where He broke the power of sin and death, in the lives of all Who trust in Him. We praise and thank You for His glorious victory, which has been echoing down through the ages, and resounding throughout the universe for 2000 years, and we glorify Your holy name that today we know that there is a Man, seated on the right hand of God, in glorious majesty, Lord Jesus Christ the righteous.We rejoice that His glorious victory has not diminished with the passing of time, but has become a reality in the lives of generations of men and women, who have trusted in the name of Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. And we thank You Father, that His resurrection power is equally as potent in our lives today as it was when He burst forth from the grave, and routed the armies of wickedness forever. Thank You, that the day is coming when Christ's victory in our mortal bodies will also be complete, and we stand before Him face to face. Until that day, we pray that you would keep us ever looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. In Whose name we pray,Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the comforting words that are in the Word of God. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for me today. Thank You that You have the strength for all the tasks that I will meet today. Thank You that Your hand is guiding me and Your love is surrounding me every moment of the day. Thank You today and every day, in Jesus' name,Amen.
Dear Lord and Heavenly Father, I do thank You for the way that You have supplied for all my needs throughout my life, according to Your promises. Thank You for the generous provision I have received from You on so many occasions, when no help was forthcoming. I come to You today asking You to undertake for the financial needs I am facing today. I know that there are many people who are in a similar position to me who are facing increasing costs in their lives too, and I pray that You look down in pity on all Your children in need. It says in the Bible that we do not have because we do not ask, so I am humbly asking Father that You visit the lives of every child of God that is facing a shortage of money or some financial hardship and ask that You would be our great Provider, as You have promised. This I pray in Jesus' precious name, Amen.
Thank You, Father, that You have made Yourself known to humanity through the Word of God. But forgive us Lord, for we are a rebellious and prideful race and yet You loved us so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to lay down His sinless life as the perfect sacrifice for our sin, so that by that death and resurrection, all who believe on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life. Thank You, that in Your love You chose to communicate with us by the Word, by Your holy apostles and prophets. You revealed to us Your glorious plan of salvation, so that whoever believes on the Lord Jesus Christ would not be condemned, but whosoever does not believe in the only begotten Son of God is condemned already, because he has not believed on Jesus Who loved us so much that He willingly went to the cross to redeem us from the penalty of sin, and reconcile us back to You eternally.Thank You, that Your Word to us is like a perfumed love-letter that has been forwarded from heaven to all Your children in love. Thank You, for the truth it contains and thank You, for all Your perfect and unconditional love and grace towards Your children. May we assimilate these truths deep within the bowels of our soul and glorify Your name for the unconditional love that You have seen fit to pour out on all Your children, by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Dear Father God, I praise and thank You for Your loving-kindness and great mercy which is new every morning and remains steadfast and sure throughout the day, to strengthen and hold. Thank You for the glory of the cross, knowing that I was a estranged from Your heart of love and an outcast from the kingdom of heaven. Words cannot describe the wonderment that You sent Your only begotten Son to come to earth as a Man, to live a life of rejection and sorrow, and to suffer and die for me on the cross of Calvary, so that I might be forgiven of all my sins and live with You eternally in heaven.Thank You, Father, that although I was unworthy to approach You glorious throne, and enslaved in the kingdom of darkness, yet in Your mercy and grace You stooped down to me and lifted me out of the Satan's bondage and from the cesspit of sin, and seated me together with Christ in heavenly places and showered me with Your undeserved grace and favour. Thank You, that I am now one of Your redeemed children. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Thank You, Father, that You are my Shepherd and I am under Your watchful eye and protected by Your gracious hand. Thank You, for the care and protection that You show towards me with each passing day. Lord, at times I feel weary and worn, and sometimes I feel quite alone, despite the many people that surround me.Look in grace and pity on me for I am Your child, the sheep of Your pasture, the little lamb that needs to be carried moment by moment on Your shoulders. Lord, my eyes are looking to You to provide and to protect, to lead into green pastures and to feed beside the still waters.Thank You, that no matter what difficulties arise in my life, my hope and my trust is in You. Thank You, that I have nothing to fear when You are with me. Thank You Father, in Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Dear Father in heaven, I do bless and glorify Your name for Your graciousness towards me and for Your day by day provision You have faithfully provided for me and my family all our lives. Thank You that you are always faithful to Your promises of provision.Lord, it is a great comfort to know that You know everything about me and that You know when I sit or stand. You know the needs I have before they arise, and You faithfully set in motion the answers to my prayers even before I call. And Lord, even though the answers to my prayers may sometimes be delayed, I so often see Your hand of blessing in so many other ways. Thank You for the way that You have used difficulties and delays to perfect and develop my trust in You. And Lord, although I do not always understand when things do not work out the way that I expect, I do thank You that You have always been there to provide for my needs in Your time and in Your way.Keep my heart ever thankful for Your gracious provision and loving kindness towards me, and may I grow in grace and come to know You more and more in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
I praise and thank You Father, for Your steadfast love towards me. Thank You, Lord, for Your never-failing faithfulness, comfort and grace which is new every morning and refreshed every day. Thank You, that You are a God Who cares for each and every one of Your children and graciously carries and tends for all who trust in You.Though I am poor and needy, thank You, Father, that You hear and answer my cries. You send help in time of trouble, provision in time of need, strength when I am weary and comfort when I am in distress. Thank You, that You carry me in Your everlasting arms of mercy and grace and I praise Your holy name that Your grace is sufficient for all my needs, and made perfect in my weakness.Heavenly Father, Your steadfast love towards me is very precious and I love You, and yet my love is very weak. I pray that You would help me to love You more and more with every passing day. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Father, we are so blessed to be called Your children and to have Christ as our Saviour. Thank You for sending Him to die on the cross to pay the price for our sins, and thank You, that His resurrection life is ours by grace through faith in Him. Thank You, that He is the wisdom of God and the power of God, and that we have been given a new life in Christ, so that in His grace and mercy we have become more than conquers through Him Who loved us, and gave Himself for us. Thank You, that we have been given all that we need for life and godliness and that no matter what difficulties or dangers we may be called upon to face, we have an assurance that His grace is sufficient for all our needs, for His strength is made perfect in our weakness. In Jesus' name we pray,Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You for our hospitals and the wonderful way that You have used many volunteers to share the gospel of grace, the love of Christ and the truth of the forgiveness of sins to those that are sick, suffering and in need. Multiply the numbers of those whom You call into this valuable work, knowing that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Lord, I also know that in many places in the world, it is much more challenging to share the gospel, especially in hospitals, surgeries and medical centres, but Father, I pray that You would protect all who are part of the army of volunteers who are called into this service, and pray that You would give many opportunities to tell others of the love of Christ, and to share the good news of the gospel of grace, so that many may be brought into the kingdom of God. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the wonderful Christian friends that You have brought into my life, each one so precious to You and each one who has brought such joy and encouragement into my life.Father, I thank You for the gifts and talents that each has been endowed with and the way that each one has brought something new and unique into my life. I ask Your special blessing upon each one, and pray that together we may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, as we fellowship together around Your Word and encourage each other in the trials and difficulties that we are all facing at this time.Breathe Your love and grace into the heart of each one and draw us ever closer to each other and to You. Help us to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Loving Father, thank You for my wonderful parents and the love and support that they have given me throughout my life. Thank You, Lord, that You placed me in a family with parents that know and trust You, and for the example they have been to me throughout my childhood and into my adult life. Thank You, Father, that they were chosen by You to be our parents and that You used them to bring me into a loving trust of Jesus, my Saviour. Protect them and keep them from all harm and danger, and grant them the health and strength as they get a little older. Thank You, Father, for the joy of family life and the love and grace that I have received through being part my this family. Thank You that we are all one in Christ, and part of the heavenly kingdom throughout all eternity. Give my parents the joy of drawing ever closer to You with each advancing year and Father, may I honour them in all things unto their lives end. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
Dear Lord and Father of us all, how I bless and thank You for placing me in my family and for the blessing of my dear father, who gave me life. Thank You for the joy and fun that we have shared together over the years, and for his wonderful example and trust in You. Thank You for his wisdom, his patience and the many lessons that he taught me as I was growing. Thank You for his strength in times of difficulty, his wisdom in times of trouble, his honesty in times of correction, his gentleness in times of pain, and thank You that he taught me about Jesus from being a child. As he is advancing in years, I pray that You will be with him and take care of him. Keep him from all harm and danger and prepare his heart for the day when he will see You face to face. I pray that on that glorious day, he will hear You say, "well done good an faithful servant."�Amen.
How I thank You Heavenly Father, for my dear, dear grandmother. She has always been such a special support and encouragement to me, especially as I was growing up and finding out about life and living. She has given me so much of her gentle wisdom and good advice, never being judgemental, but always fair and kind. Thank You for the wonderful example she has been throughout my life of a godly woman who loves Jesus first and foremost, and for the unique way that she lovingly gently nudges me to turn to You, in all the circumstances of my life. Thank You for placing her in my life. Thank You, that I have had the opportunity of learning so much from her, for her knowledge of the Scriptures and her delight to turn to You in prayer, day by day. Lord, now that she is getting older, I pray that You would keep Your loving arms around her and protect her from harm. Guard and guide her, protect her and provide all that she needs. Draw her ever closer to Yourself. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Father, I want to praise and thank You for the living hope that I have in Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You, that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and that I have been placed in union with Him. Thank You for the confident assurance I have in Him, knowing that my eternal future is secured for me in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus my Savour.Thank You, that my hope in firmly anchored in Him and eternally secured to Christ, the Rock of my salvation, and I pray that day by day I may hold fast to the blessed hope that is set before me: looking to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, knowing that my Lord Jesus Christ is the mainstay of my soul, and Who is both sure and steadfast, faithful and true. I praise and thank You for my wonderful hope in Christ, Who died for me so that I might have an abundance of hope in this world, and in the ages to come, life everlasting. To Him be all praise and glory, world without end,Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, my heart is full of joy and thanksgiving that I have trusted in Jesus as my Saviour. Thank You, Lord, that you died to pay the price for my sins. Thank You, that You went to the cross for me and took all the punishment that I deserve. Thank You, that You forgave me of my sins as a free gift of Your amazing grace. I praise and thank You for coming to earth as a Man and living a perfect life so that You could become the sacrifice for sin, the sacrifice for my sin, without which I would have remained dead in my trespasses and without hope in the world.There are no words that are adequate to explain my thanks and praise to You. But Lord, I thank You for this new beginning, this fresh start when I can step out into the world, knowing that I have been saved and have been accepted into Your family as a child of God. Lord, I want to learn more and more about You and ask that day by day, You would open up my eyes to see You and my ears to hear You. Open up the scripture so that I may come to a deeper knowledge of You.Thank You, Lord. Thank You for being my Father, and thank You for my new life in Christ which I have received by grace through faith. Thank You, that nothing can ever separate me from Your love, and thank You that I have an assurance that I will one day see You in heaven and know You, even as I am known. In Jesus' precious name,Amen.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You know all about me and that You even knew that one day I would accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. Father, I don�t understand this, but I do believe it because Your Word says that it is true, and that before the world began, You knew all about me and predestined me to be Your child in Christ. Father, the incredible privileges and tremendous blessings that are mine, simply because I have trusted in Christ Jesus are amazing, and I praise and thank You for all Your goodness and loving-kindness to me.I pray that I may live a godly life that is pleasing to You, and that all I say and do may honour Your name, for it is such a privilege to be Your child and I want to serve You with my whole being. I ask that You would use me to tell forth the glorious gospel of grace to all whom You put into my path. Father, so many are lost and weary, sad and sorrowing, discouraged and depressed, but I pray that many will come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be adopted into Your family, and we will sing of Your praises throughout eternity for the amazing grace that You have shown to so many. Thank You, Father, for adopting us into Your family and seating us together with Christ in heavenly places. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Loving Father, I just want to thank You for my state of singleness. I know that at times I have longed (to a greater or lesser degree) to be married. But Lord, as I reflect on my life and the amazing privileges and grace that You have given to me in my single status, I realise that I would not have it any other way and just want to praise and thank You for all that You are doing in my life today and the way that You have led me to this point.Lord, increasingly I understand what Paul was talking about when he said that those that are single should remain single if they are able to cope with their physical and emotional desire to be with another person. Lord, it certainly is my desire to grow ever closer to You and to be a witness of my wonderful Creator, who has saved my soul and made me a new creation in Christ.There is no greater joy Lord than knowing You, and at times I know that I have wasted my time looking into things that are not wholesome and drinking from cisterns that are polluted, but You have led and guided me to this point in my life and I pray that You would continue to lead and guide me. Lord, I know that as we get older we can become concerned if we have no one to, � look after� us, but Father I just want to hand my future into Your gracious hands, knowing that as You have guided me to this point in my life that You are able and willing to support me and keep me in the years that lie ahead.I pray that as I get older I may continue to love You more and serve You better and rely on You alone for all my needs, for You are a great God and I thank You for being my God and my Saviour, my Lord and my best Friend. Thank You in Jesus' name,Amen.
Thank You, Lord, for my sister and for the wonderful times that we have shared together. Thank You that You placed us in families and for the privilege of having a sister like mine. Thank You for all that my sister has taught me and the encouragement she has been to me when I have been in time of hardship and distressLord, I pray that You would be very close to her and direct and protect her in all she does. Lead and guide her into all truth and draw her ever closer to Yourself.Lord, I pray that day by day she would draw closer to You and surrender herself to the leading of Your Spirit. May she grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus until we all come to spiritual maturity.Give her the desire and grace to study Your Word and to draw ever closer to You in daily prayer. Bind her thoughts to Your thoughts and her will to Your will so that she may grow in the wisdom and truth that comes only from You. May she excel in the fruit of the Spirit and grow in humility and gentleness, and use her in a mighty way to demonstrate the love and grace of the Lord Jesus in all she says and does. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
In the name of the Lord Jesus, I bring my unborn child to You Lord, and thank You for this gift of grace that has been granted to me. Lord, You have heard my prayers as you did Hannah in the Bible, and have granted me the privilege of bringing a new little life into the world. I pray that my pregnancy may be free of complications and that my little baby will be born perfectly healthy and complete.Lord, I pray that your hand of grace would be on this child, not only in the womb but once he is born. May he come to know and love You Lord, and grow into a strong and healthy little child who comes to know the Lord Jesus as his Saviour.Father, I thank and praise You for all the great things that you have done for me, and for all the things as yet unknown that You have in store for us all. Lord, I love you and stand in awe of the wonderful miracle of life that is growing inside of me and I lift up my hands to praise Your glorious name.�Amen.

Heavenly Father, thank You for my wife and all that she means to me. Thank You for bringing such a good woman into my life to be my helper and friend as well as my lover and comfort. Thank You for her love for You Lord, and I pray that day by day our marriage may become stronger so that together we may grow in grace, and that our mutual love for each other and for You may blossom into the marriage partnership that You desire for each of Your children. Bless our lives together, and unite us in a closer bond of unity with each other so that together we may stand shoulder to shoulder as we carry out the life-work that You have given to us, to the glory of Your name. Forgive us those times when we have allowed the niggles of life and the foolishness of our sin natures to sour the special relationship we have with each other, knowing that the enemy seeks to instil disunity in Christian lives and marriages. Help us instead, to quietly and humbly apologise for our own short comings and change our thinking, so that we consider the needs of the other before our own.Thank You for the precious blessing of my wife. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Heavenly Father, I want to lift up all of my work colleagues to You, and pray Your grace and blessings on each one.

May the attitude I display towards each of these work colleagues be kind, gracious and seasoned with salt, so that I may honour Your holy name.May I be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in me when asked, and I pray that my life may be a true witness to Your grace and loving-kindness. Lord, I know that as Your child, my life is to be an open letter that speaks of You. Give me wisdom to know when to open my mouth and when to remain silent, and keep me I pray, from displaying actions and attitudes that would discredit Your holy name.Thank You, Lord, for those of my workmates that already know You as Saviour. May they grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But I also lift up those colleagues of mine that have not accepted Jesus as their Saviour. I pray that many may come to trust in the finished work of Calvary and the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord, and turn to You as the their Saviour. This I ask in the name of Jesus,Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, we are gathered together around the dining table in friendship and fellowship to partake of the many blessings that You have bestowed on us all, for which we are truly thankful. Thank You, Father, for Your gracious provision, day by day. Provide for those in need we pray, and look down in compassion on those that are hungry today.

But then let me remember your attitude toward them, and lead me to see them in the light of Your love. Amen.

Father, my heart kneels before You in grateful thanks and praise for I have sinned and done so many things that do not deserve Your love or forgiveness and I confess that I have rejected Your free gift of salvation, simply because I could not understand in my mind how anyone could die for my sins, especially the Creator of the earth and God of the Universe. I confess Lord, that I turned my back on You through ignorance and pride and yet in Your love You sought me out.Thank You, Lord, that there is no sin that I have committed that cannot be forgiven by You and there is nothing hidden on my guilty past that cannot be cleansed and healed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Lord, I desire that You unlock my heart and even cleanse me of those hidden sins which I thought were too gross to merit Your forgiveness, and which I have suppressed from my conscious memory. But I confess all my sins before You and believe that by Your sacrificial death and glorious resurrection, I have been forgiven of my sins and released from powerful hold that sin had over my life. Thank you that by grace through faith, I been set free from all guilt and am no longer under Your condemnation, but I am now a child of God, accepted in the Beloved. Thank You, in Jesus' name,Amen.
Father God, how I praise You that the Lord Jesus is not only my Saviour Who died on the cross to redeem me from eternal separation from You, and rose again the third day, to share His life with me, but that He is also my heavenly Advocate, Who is my representative before Your throne of grace and Who by Your mercy is defending me against the accuser of my soul.Thank You, that He not only identified with my sin and paid the redemption price, but that He also covered me with His robe of righteousness and caused me to be made blameless in Your holy eyes, by grace through faith. I am not worthy to gather the crumbs under Your table, but You are the ever-living Lord of mercy and grace, Who has reached down to adopt me as Your child.I can do nothing but praise Your holy name and offer You my heart and life to be a living sacrifice, separated and holy unto the Lord. May You be glorified in my life, and may I never cease from praising You in spirit and in truth all the days of my life.I pray that I may grow in grace and in an ever deeper knowledge of my Lord and Saviour, Whom to know is life eternal and in Whose name I pray,Amen.
Father God, I praise and thank You for the Word of God and the truths it contains. Thank You for the many instructions, guidelines and boundaries that we are given for our spiritual protection and preservation. Help me to put on the whole armour of God and to remain covered in Christ moment by moment, knowing that it is our only protection and defense against the principalities and powers of darkness, that would seek to undermine our trust in God.Help me to stand fast in this evil day, and to willingly submit to the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit in my life, so that in His power I may resist the devil and all his evil activities in my life and the lives of those I love.Keep me from presumptuously thinking that I have strength in and of myself against the wiles of the evil one, knowing that all the instructions, guidelines and boundaries in Scripture are given for my learning and for my spiritual protection. Help me to keep my eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, and my heart securely anchored to the Rock of my salvation. May I never lose sight of my access to the Throne of grace, my glorious position in Christ, my heavenly citizenship and my day by day responsibility to trust Your Word of truth. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Thank You, Father, for the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit, Who testifies with our spirit that we are Your children. Thank You for His ongoing work within each one of our lives, and thank You that He has quickened us from the dead, established us in Christ, sealed us in Him, placed us into His body and is skilfully building us up as living stones into a holy temple in the Lord. Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit teaches us all things, guides us into all truth, is able to purify our hearts and cleanses our minds, when we hand every thought captive to Him, in willing surrender. Lord, I thank You that no matter what difficulties and dangers flood our hearts and invade our lives, there is nothing that can separate us from Your love and grace. Give us I pray, that sufficient strength that You have promised to all your children who are facing problems and danger, and let us never forget that greater is He that is indwelling each of Your children than the enemy that is in the world. Endue us with spiritual strength and fortitude as we face the future, strong in the knowledge that we have a heavenly home, secured for us in heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen.
