Prayer For Grace
O Lord Jesus, grant us your grace and give us time for repentance.
We want to keep your commandments and do your bidding, choose the better part and no longer follow evil.
Give us your strength to do this, O loving Savior, for your own name's sake. Amen.
O Lord, feed your people with your grace, and deliver our souls from the death of sin.
Fill us with your mercy, that we may be united with the joys of the righteous; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Oh God, I know that You love me and have forgiven me and all that, and I know in my heart that some of my outbursts are not good. But Lord, I am so frustrated as no one seems to understand me or what I need.
Lord, I do thank You that You do not hold anything against me and that all my sins have been forgiven in Your amazing sea of forgetfulness. I guess I also know that my behaviour towards - well everyone, and the way that I allow my frustration to build up and explode is really wrong and not pleasing to You.
Lord, I know that I need You in my life because I know that there is no one but You that can sort out this frustration in me. It is causing tension with my family and with my friends as well, and I know it needs to be sorted out.
Lord, I need Your grace in me, right deep inside me. Show me, Lord, how I can be the sort of person I need to be. Help me to develop the right sort of relationship with all the people in my life. And also Lord, I ask that You would show me the right way to react when things start of get me down and I feel frustrated. Thank You that You really do care about me, and thank You, for I know that in the power of Your Holy Spirit, I can become the person You would want me to be. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Help me O God, because like all the children of men, I need your daily grace. Yesterday's blessings can encourage but will not take care of the burdens of today.
May I know Thee as the Shepherd of my life and eternal soul. May my fears be dissolved by faith in Thee and through the power of Thy love.
Help me to love and manifest the spirit of love under all circumstances to all people. May my life be a glory to Thyself, a help to my fellow-man and rewarding to me.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Thee thanks, O Lord? Thy bounties are endless and our gratitude cannot equal them. How can the finite utter praise of the Infinite? Unable are we to voice our thanks for Thy favors and in utter powerlessness we turn wholly to Thy Kingdom beseeching the increase of Thy bestowals and bounties. Thou art the Giver, the Bestower, the Almighty."
Thou seest us, O my God, gathered around this table, praising Thy bounty, with our gaze set upon Thy Kingdom. O Lord! Send down upon us Thy heavenly food and confer upon us Thy blessing. Thou art verily the Bestower, the Merciful, the Compassionate."
Dear Lord Jesus, we thank You for our family and friends and the opportunity of joining together in this time of family worship as we lift up our voices in joyful praise and thanksgiving for all Your goodness and grace to us. Thank You for the opportunity to come before You as a family to offer up our intercessions and prayers.
Thank You for providing for our daily needs and the necessities of life, and for the many blessings that You shower over each one of us with such abundance. Thank You for our daily food, our home our health and the love that we share together. And most of all, we thank You for Jesus, Who died on the cross to pay the price for our sins and rose again the third day, breaking the power of sin and death in our lives, and how we praise and thank You for the indwelling Holy Spirit, Who leads and guides and protect us, day-by-day.
Forgive us for the times when we have neglected to keep Jesus as the central Person in our lives, and for the times when we have not shown the love of Jesus to one another.
Keep us mindful of the need to grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus, and teach us all to walk in a godly way, to Your praise and glory.
Help us at home and in the wider world to be good and faithful witnesses to the good news of the gospel of grace, and may we individually and as a family reflect the love of Jesus in our lives to Your greater glory. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.

Help me to love and manifest the spirit of love under all circumstances to all people. May my life be a glory to Thyself, a help to my fellow-man and rewarding to me.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
