Thankful Saturday Blessings
Dear God, thank You for giving me another day. Great is Your faithfulness. Today, I ask that You touch my heart and give me strength that only You can give. Thank You for promising to walk with me through betrayal and pain. Throughout my life, people have hurt me and broken my spirit. Thank You for being a God who feels my pain, sees my tears, and holds my hand. Fill me with Your strength and the truth of Your word. Thank You for never leaving me and for always being by my side. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. -Psalm 73:26
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You for the invitation to drop my masks and deal openly and honestly with the hidden issues that hold me back. Search my heart and show me where my motives are wrong and where I’m pretending. I want to be real so You can use me for Your highest purposes. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Thank you, merciful Lord, for this beautiful morning and the gift of life. Here I stand before You, trusting in Your wonderful power. I open my heart to You and present all my needs. Thank you, Father God, for this moment of prayer, where I can connect with You from the depths of my heart.
My Father, I ask that You take me into Your blessed hands and make me entirely Yours. I surrender my mind and heart to You. Cleanse me from all sin, forgive my faults, and renew me, Lord, with Your sanctifying Spirit that fills us with Your love and drives out all evil within us. I trust in Your infinite mercy to cleanse any impurity in me. I strive to be more worthy each day so that I may be with You for eternity.
Lord, open Your powerful Word to me so that You may remove ignorance from my path and guide me with bonds of love into Your presence. I understand that I must stop being selfish because You are a generous God. If I love You, I must also strive to imitate You. I am open to Your Word and Your action. Bless me with strength and abundant love.
My God, I also pray for those who suffer in silence, for those who are alone and abandoned. May Your love and peace envelop them, may they feel Your healing and comforting presence. Help them find solace and hope in You, and may they experience the greatness of Your love in their lives.
I want to be an instrument of Your peace and love. May my words and actions reflect Your goodness and mercy. Grant me the wisdom to make the right decisions, the patience to face challenges, and the humility to acknowledge my mistakes. May every step I take be an offering to You, and may all that I do be for Your glory.
Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Thank you for always being by my side, guiding and protecting me. I praise and bless You for Your infinite mercy and for all the blessings You pour out on me each day. Allow me to be a source of healing for those around me, helping them to know and love You, Lord. I want my life to reflect Your love, and my actions to fulfill Your will today and always. May those who cross my path today see in me a testimony of Your goodness and grace. Help me be a channel of Your peace, bringing Your message of love and hope to everyone I meet. May my actions speak of Your love, my words bring comfort, and my heart always be open to receiving You.
Thank you, Lord, for watching over my rest and allowing me to start this day full of Your energy and blessed happiness. Amen.
I offer my day for the intentions of the Holy Father, joining in his requests for unity, love, and fraternity among all peoples.
“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 62)
May the Lord bless us on this day, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
