Every day is a party with Jesus

My Heavenly Father, You have loved me with an everlasting love and drawn me with loving devotion. Because of Jesus, the one mediator between God and men who gave Himself as a ransom for all, I can come near and call You Abba, Father. Holy is Your name.

Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done. You want everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. So I lift up petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving for everyone: for my family, my neighbors, and for kings and all those in authority, that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

Give me today what I need. Where my life feels like ruins, build me again. Refresh my weary soul and replenish me when I am weak. Turn my mourning into joy, and give me reasons to take up my tambourine and dance.

Forgive my sins, Father. Thank You for the new covenant. You write Your law on my heart, forgive my iniquities, and remember my sins no more. Help me forgive others just as freely. Make me someone who loves discipline and does not hate correction.

Lead me away from temptation and from rebellious speech that traps. Deliver me from evil, and plant my roots deep in You so that I cannot be uprooted. Let my house stand firm on You.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.
