Please forgive me of my transgressions, purify and make me clean, and grant me the right to stand before you. I come to you broken-hearted and unworthy. Give me the strength to conquer my enemies; don't give them the chance to prevail. You constantly prove to me that nothing is impossible when you're around. Sometimes it's difficult. When things don't go as planned, my aggressors constantly look embarrassed. Lord, please remove the stones that have been placed in our road so that we won't be overlooked when you bless others.

Remember us before your heavenly seat. Please grant us long life, prosperity for our families, defense for our country, and long life for our parents so they can continue to reap the rewards of their own labor. Teach us to follow your wishes and commands every day. When you bless us, make us humble so that we don't look down on others. May our hearts be kind so that we can help and share with others. May you support our leaders in doing so morally. May your kids be spared from the evil spirit of rejection. Please remind us that everything occurs for a purpose and that you forbid negative things from happening to us.

Help us remember that you give and take when the time is appropriate and allow your will to be carried out on earth as it is in heaven so that we won't doubt you when our plans fall through.

In the name of Jesus, Amen!
