Prayer

Oh True and Living God, accept this day's offerings as a form of worship from the work of my hands, the words I speak, the rest I take, and the love in my heart. I hope you find these pleasing and reviving. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer

O True and Living God, please take what I do with my hands, what I say with my mouth, how I spend my free time, and the love in my heart as my worship to You today. I hope they make You feel good and give You joy. I pray to You in the name of Your Son, my Lord Jesus. Amen.
