We give thanks to You Lord God, for You are good and Your mercy endures forever.
Lord God, we are thankful that You remember us and strengthen us as we pray. We are thankful that You Lord, open our eyes that we may, with wisdom, see clearly the path ahead; understanding the times and seasons.
Help us, O Lord, we pray, to complete our assigned duties with integrity of heart and a clear conscience and be certain that our efforts are what is good in Your sight.
Oh, that You would bless us indeed and enlarge our vision, that Your hand would be upon all we do, and that You would keep us from error, that we may not cause harm.
Now may Your grace rest and abide with us all as we delve into the multiple tasks that are before us.
For it's in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.
