I receive the gifts of God with a grateful spirit. St. Jude, help me to see the blessings that surround me and give me life. I offer you my prayer of thanksgiving. Give me the grace to be forever thankful for God's love and mercy, and the gift of life each day. May this gratitude inspire me to give generously of myself to othersin my actions, in my prayers, and in my fortune however small that may be. Be with me now, St. Jude. Linger with me in gratitude, and let thanks fill my heart, washing away my pains and troubles. May I desire nothing except to be in God's presence, and to learn from you to be an example of hope, love, and thanksgiving to everyone I meet. Amen.
Dear Lord, I ask You to guide me and give me wisdom as I move away from my family and my home country to work in a foreign place. I ask You to be with me in all that I do as I face the challenge of learning to live and work in a different culture with different standards and beliefs. Enable me to adjust to the differences, but not be caught up in the things of this world.
Give me wisdom and discernment as I meet new people, and help me to be both cautious in my dealings as well as kind in my actions. May I walk in the path that You have called me to go and not stray from Your guidance.
Provide I pray, all my needs and necessities and provide me with health and strength as I face the challenges before me. May I be the best that I can be in the place that You have called me to go.
Be with all my loved ones that I am leaving behind and keep them safe in the arms of Jesus day by day. Bring us back together in Your way and in Your own good time. I ask this in the name of my Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I bow my knee before You in prayer and praise. Lead and guide me today in all You say and do. May I walk in spirit and truth today and be sensitive to Your gentle guidance.
Help me I pray, to fix my eyes on the Lord Jesus, knowing that without Him I will quickly stray from the path that is best for me. Lord, I believe that You have scheduled every day of my life, and I do not want to stray from the path that You would have me take.
Help me to be faithful to You and to willing go along the path of Your choosing, knowing that it may conflict with my own desires and wishes. Develop in me a heart that delights to do Your will so that the longings of my heart are brought into line with Your plans and purposes and Your will for my life.
Let my eyes always be looking to You, and keep me from the looking at the storms and difficulties of life, knowing that You are with me to lead and guide and to uphold me to Your praise and glory.
Thank You that Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life and I desire to do only that which is pleasing in Your site. In His name I pray,
Amen.
We ask that You would bless this Thanksgiving meal and continue to guide our family along Your path. We also pray for blessings for the rest of the holiday season and in the year ahead. In the name of Your son Jesus, amen.
O Lord my God, help me to trust you with my decisions and my future. Let me lean on you with all my heart instead of relying on my own imperfect understanding. Give me clear guidance in my life, Lord. As I submit myself to you, I know that you will direct my paths and I can have confidence that your direction is always the best way to go. Hear my prayer, Father. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for placing your hand upon me in my hour of need, reminding me that you are always with me.
Although I find myself in a place of uncertainty, despair and desperation, I am grateful for the blessings you have bestowed upon me that I always took for granted.
Though it may appear that you have foresaken me, only now may I see so clearly that you are with me now more than ever. You have lead me to a place where my eyes have opened and I now see the vast differences between my wants and my needs, and trust that you will provide the most important things necessary for my life.
Please continue to bless me with your strength, your patience, your grace and humility as I now turn my eyes to the path you wish me to take. May you provide me with the opportunity to use the talents you have given to me to do your works, and to not only provide for myself but give me the means to provide for others, in your name.
I thank you for all you have given me, and will continue to give to me.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
