Sweet P's: A prayer of thanksgiving

Almighty and gracious Heavenly Father, I come before You today with thanksgiving.

I give You thanks for the good health of everyone in our family. I give You thanks for my beautiful wife F., and I ask that You continue to bless and strengthen our marriage. I also thank You for my wife's chance to study for her degree. I give You thanks for our beautiful son J. Please sent an army of Your angels to protect and accompany him. I give You thanks for the opportunity to teach, and I ask that You bless my students.

Lord, there are many who are suffering today. They lack food, water, the chance to work, and hope. Lord, I know their pain since I, too, have been without those things. You are able to remove all obstacles, bring the high places low, and elevate the weak and helpless. Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Lord, those who read these prayers have terrible struggles of their own. Raise these people up, strengthen them, guide them, and restore their souls. There is nothing that You cannot do! You are the only True God!

Amen.
