Dear Lord, I thank you for the promise that you have given me. I pray for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

Help me to be a faithful steward of the gifts and blessings you have given me, and to use them to serve and bless those around me. May your will be done in my life and in the lives of those I love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
