Lord,
Receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will.
Take all I have and call my own.You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.
Amen.
Dear God,
In these days of hurt feelings, I choose to forgive.
When people are unkind and hateful, I choose to forgive.
As I feel frustrated and weary, I choose to forgive.
Help me Lord to let go of the hurts and pain.
Cause me to be kind when I am exhausted by life.
Bless me that I might bless when I am offended.
I praise you dear Father. You are worthy.
Amen.
Lord,Because you have made me, I owe you the whole of my love; because you have redeemed me, I owe you the whole of myself; because you have promised so much, I owe you my whole being.Moreover, I owe you as much more love than myself as you are greater than I, for whom you gave yourself and to whom you promised yourself.I pray you, Lord, make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge; let me know by love what I know by understanding.I owe you more than my whole self, but I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to you.Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of your love. I am wholly yours by creation; make me all yours, too, in love.Amen
Jesus,
When you had nothing else to give
you gave yourself.
And as your friends shared and ate,
they were confused and complicit,
just like all of us.
May we give sacrificially;
because when we give like this,
we are like you,
who became like us.
Amen.
Teach us to Listen Lord.
Help us to be interested in what our friends are saying.
Bless us to be people who care about what people say.
In these times of hurriedness, manifest patience in us.
In this world of apathy and indifference, we commit to kindness.
Let love be our banner and our guiding principle.
To you we give all honor and praise.
Amen.
Dear Lord,
Our hearts are filled with your presence.
We cannot help to pray.
We come renouncing our pride and seeking your humility.
Your love consumes us and your compassion fills us.
You have given us everything we need.
We ask you today for help to lead lives worthy of your calling.
When we struggle help us to remember that you are there.
When our lives seem easy open our eyes to see those who need us.
We submit ourselves to you and to your ways.
We ask for your kingdom to come and your will to be done in us.
To you be all glory and honor.
Amen.
Dear God,
I need your wisdom, strength and grace to help me serve others.
Help me to know that every person deserves to be treated with respect.
Open my eyes to see the needs of those around me.
Give me a willing heart that I might intercede and help in any way I can.
To you belongs all glory and honor.
Amen.
Dear Father in Heaven,
We come again with open hands and open hearts.
We confess our need of your presence and love.
We renounce the pride and ego that gets in your way.
We bow to you and submit our lives to you again.
Take our offerings. Take our lives. Take our hearts.
We offer all that we are to you and your purposes.
Strengthen us that we might take up our crosses and follow Jesus.
Make us new again as we submit to your Spirit.
Cause heaven to come to earth and to our hearts.
We give you praise and glory forever and ever.
Amen
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
all I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours;
do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.
Amen
All that I am, all that I have
