‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

– Matthew 22:37

God,

You are my joy, my hope, my guide.

I am grateful for the many blessings You have given me.

Your love is infinite.

You silently work miracles every day.

My heart reaches out to You and asks for Your mercy.

Lay Your hands on the sick and the suffering, and use Your life giving power to restore them to health.

I am humbly asking You for a miracle.

May they be safe.

May they be healthy.

May they be happy.

May they be at peace.

Amen.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, (and sisters) whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

God,

Help me to always look for the good in all people and in all circumstances.

May we be safe.

May we be healthy.

May we be happy.

May we live in peace.

Amen.

Psalm 33:20-22

Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and shield.
Our heart is glad in Him,
because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us,
even as we hope in You.

Amen.

Excerpt From
NRSV, Catholic Edition Bible

Psalm 51:10-12

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
         and put a new and right spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from your presence,
         and do not take your holy spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
         and sustain in me a willing spirit.

Amen.

God,

I am thankful for all of the wonderful things You have done for me.

I am grateful for Your love and compassion which is greater than I could ever imagine.

Let me continuously be reminded that everything I am and I have I owe to You.

Let this day be productive and fulfilling for me.

Show me how to be an extension of You to all those around me.

Amen.
