Father, the good things of this world all come from you.
Nothing that is good has any other source.
And all that is bad and evil is not your doing.
Remove harmful and wrong thoughts and motives from our hearts.
Fill our minds with spiritual purpose.
Strengthen our hands for good works.
Fill us with your Spirit of power.
Make Jesus our reason for life.
Grow in us the seed of gratitude.
May the good of this world make us yearn for that of eternity.
Establish our hearts in your grace.
We pray because the Lord is our intercessor. Amen.
Praise Must Roll from Tongues
Heavenly Father, praise must roll from tongues
And tallest hills, from every rock and tree,
From creatures large and small, from depths and height,
From sea and space, from earth and seventh heaven.
For you, O Lord, the God who made it all,
Are sovereign over matter and murkiest mind,
You know the deepest secrets of sinful man,
Your word creates, your breath dissolves at will.
To you all glory and honor and power belong:
Besides your strength, what moves you is selfless love;
No evil’s in you, and none before you resists,
The good of light is you, and ever will be.
Blessed Word of speaking
Father in Heaven, who is present everywhere,
Bless those who travel, and those who stay at home.
Knower of all things,
Give love to those with knowledge, and give understanding to those without it.
Power of the universe,
Make the powerful compassionate, make the weak to stand.
God ever good,
Fulfill the good intention, and purify the mixed motive.
Blessed Word of speaking,
Cause hearts full of you to speak, and fill the empty soul with Christ.
