O God in Heaven,
You created the world through your Son, the same Jesus who voluntarily offered his life to save us from hell and destruction. We praise you, Jesus, because you lifted yourself from the grave and defeated death. We rejoice that you now stand on your Father’s right hand in power listening to our prayers. Working on our behalf.
We praise you because the strength that defeated Satan and raised you back to life has never diminished. The power that raised you from the dead is still available for each of us, your children. Not only will you eventually resurrect us to spend eternity with you in heaven, you give hope for an abundant life now. Please remind us that you invite us to tap into your power when we face overwhelming problems. Help us rise above fear and despair. Give us confidence that we can endure any adversity with your supernatural assistance. Even though we are weak, we are super conquerors through you.
We pray in your name and praise you together, Jesus. We rejoice in your righteousness and give thanks to your holy name. You are wholly wonderful.

Gracious Father,
Please bless your children who are reading this by reminding them throughout the day how much you love them and who they are in you.
You created them in your own image to be your much-loved children. You are the perfect Father, much better than any earthly father. They were not a mistake; you determined the exact times of their births and were glad when they were born. You knitted them together in the womb, numbered the very hairs on their heads and determined where they would live. You continue to treasure them even now, no matter how they feel or what they believe.
When troubles seem poised to destroy, you rescue and comfort them.
You are not distant and angry, instead you watch and ponder their every action because you love them unconditionally and delight in them. You desire with all your heart and soul to establish and bless them and moment by moment you protect them from the evil.
Please give my friends eyes to see who you are and to understand their identity in you. Bless them in Jesus’ name, amen.
