Father in heaven, glory to Your Holy name. Thank You for today and all You have placed in it for my keeping, maintenance, sustaining, protection and blessing. For the family You gave us, the ones that have gone on before us and those currently with us. For the church family whom You have bound together by Your Spirit and the blood of Jesus, Father, keep us there in Your presence I pray. 

Lord, for a sinless death to reconcile us to You, for mercy, grace and forgiveness, Great, gracious, Jehovah, God of heaven  thank you, for the unfailing love with which You pardon us and receive us into Your presence, thank You. 

Father, salvation belongs to You; You are the Author and Finisher of it. Pour it out in abundance on those who have never known You, Lord, call Your people and turn them to You. I pray to You, O thou great and dreadful God to have mercy on a people who have turned from You. Accept our plea for forgiveness and mercy because of Your covenant to them that love You, O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, hearken and do, defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. 

Father, thank You that we now have an opportunity to come into Your courts with thanksgiving and praise to lavishly bestow upon Your holy name. Thank You for the help we can, and will find before Your throne in these difficult and troubled times. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
