Dear Father,
We praise you on this Sunday, September 30.
Today I will joyfully attend your sanctuary to worship you with others dear Lord. Praise your Holy name.
Father, please forgive us of our sins. Cleanse us dear Lord and fill us with your Spirit. Take our worries and cares Lord as we trust in You.
We thank you Lord for providing for us. Thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for sunshine, the wind, the clouds and the rain. Thanks you for all you provide.
Thank you for your comfort. While we are surrounded by concerns and fears of what is going on around us and our peace is threatened, we come to you for our comfort and needs. We come to you, Lord, seeking your guidance and protection. We are thankful for all you have given us as a nation and ask for your protection of what you gave us. We ask for your help in being good stewards of what you provided.
We come to you with faith father and ask that you guard our hearts. Surround us with your peace Father as we go through this day. We pray for our leaders this morning.

We ask that you grant them wisdom and discernment, Lord, and that you make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. Lord, we ask that you direct their hearts to do Your will.
