Father, may I be fruitful for you.

Father, you have blessed me; your covenant is a mighty blessing.  You have made your covenant with us.  You have made you covenant with me.  You have made this covenant with us, not because of who we are, but because of who you are.

You have made us in your image.  Every single person is special in your eyes.  Who am I to down upon others or to think myself better.  Every person is special in your eyes.  Every person is a reflection of you.  It is your desire that every person would come to know you in a deeply personal way.

Father, may I be fruitful for you.

When you call me, may I respond to that call.  May the offering of my life be an acceptable offering to you.

Lord, all creation responds to your desires.  All creation is of your hand.  May I never fail to see your hand as it works through your creation.

Father, may my heart be open to hear your teaching.  May I be able to discern your will for me and my life.  May I not place my own desires and will above your desire for my life.  May I do all that you command of me.

Father, through my life, may I find favor in your eyes.  May my life be my form of worship to you.

Father, may I do all as you ask of me.  May I not falter in discerning your will and applying it to my life.

Just as you commanded Noah to board the ark in faith, so you command me to do things that are beyond my grasp and comprehension.  Lord, may I always be open to your presence and desire for me in my life.

Just as you sealed the ark when Noah boarded it, so you protect me as I journey through life.  Lord, thank you for your ever presence  in my life, with your desire to give me a hope and a future.

Lord, you have created a new order simply be remembering.  Your will and desires for your people are what sustains us.  Your all-encompassing presence is the very source of our existence.  Lord, I thank you for your constancy and continuous presence in my life, day in and day out.

Father, may I walk with you in all that I do.

Lord, thank you for providing us the history of Adam’s descendents to provide the lineage through which we are to be saved.  Without that very physical, human lineage we would have no hope of salvation.

Lord, when you created me, you made me in your likeness; a concept I can scarcely fathom.  How is that you have made me in your image?  Why am I so deserving that you would do such a thing for me?  Being made in your likeness, I am special in your eyes.  You love me and desire only the best for me and my relationship with you.  Thank you Lord for your undying love for me.  Amen.

Father, may my life be an acceptable offering to you.  May my life not be gauged by the things I have done for you from the perspective of duty or show.  May my life and its efforts be lived as a continuous form of worship to you, in gratitude for all you have done for me.

May my offering to you be not of duty, but of thanksgiving and praise.  This life and its difficulties are certainly not easy, but in doing it all for you, it certainly dies make is easier for it is in response to the undying love that you have extended to me, even though I am most undeserving of that love.  Thank you Lord Jesus.

Father, may I do what is right in your eyes.  May I never place my human judgment over your divine command and will for my life.  May I never place myself or my desires, or my ways above you.

I thank you Lord and rejoice in your justice.

May I be open and receptive to your working in my life.  Lord, please help me to remain open to you and placing you above me.  May I decrease so you can increase.

Father, you established the first covenant by sacrificing animals to clothe humanity.  In our sin, you sacrificed blood to protect your people.  Thank you for your unending care, concern, and love for your people.

Father, thank you for creating me, a word of your creation.  It is because of your word that I even exist.  I am alive this day because you have willed it for me.  You have shaped me and molded me according to your liking.  You have made me perfectly.

You have breathed life into me.  I am not just a material being; you have given me a spiritual essence.  A spirit that transcends the physical and draws all true life from you.

Father, you have made for me the most perfect of companions.  I thank you for bringing Sue into my life and allowing us to share our lives together.  Lord, I thank you for being present and at the center of our relationship with each other.

Father, mighty is your hand O God; how magnificent are your works.  Everything that is and is to be is of your word and hand. Everything is to sing your praises, because all creation speaks of your glory.  All praise, honor, and glory be to you O Lord.

You have created us in your image.  How wonderfully made we are.  How can anyone harm or denigrate themselves or others know that they have been wonderfully made in your image.  It is in the image of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that we are made.  You have provided everything we need to glorify you on our journey.   You ask us to be stewards of your creation by ruling over the earth and being fruitful and increase in number.

Father, may my life be a testament to your creative desire for me.  May my life glorify you through action and word, every day of my life.
