Today, I thank God for the gift of my voice. Let my vocal gifts be a living illustration of God's generosity. Let all who hear it, hear the voice of the Father. May my words, sung, spoken, or whispered be those of the divine spirit working through me. Thank you, Lord for making me an instrument of your will.

Lord Jesus who dost love us,
Oh spread thy wings above us,
Shield us from all harm.
Thou Satan would devour us,
Let Angels guard sing over us,
These children of God shall meet no harm.
Amen

Loving God, the hope and protector of all humankind; bless those whose loved ones are missing. The agony of not knowing whether someone is living or dead is a daily torture. The uncertainty of life’s future relationships hangs in limbo. Hope rides a roller coaster. Yet each day must be lived. Give unto your people the blessing of your grace that they may face each day with courage and hope. Guard their families from further danger and harm and hold them in the blessing of your love. Amen.

God of your goodness, give me yourself, for you are sufficient for me... If I were to ask anything less I should always be in want, for in you alone do I have all.

Dear Heavenly Father, God Almighty of the whole Universe, may thy Light, Life and Love fill the expanse of thy Creation, and assist all those who consider or have gone through this Soul Destroying ordeal. May Peace be spoken to their Hearts, minds, and Souls, and may they repent with power.

May we have the strength to Choose the Right, regardless of the consequences. May all mothers considering this horrible action be granted a vision, however brief, of their unborn children, realizing how precious they really are. And remember the commitments that we made to each other before coming to this earth.

Protect them from the Adversary Father. Lead them in the Path of Eternal Life.

May my fellow brothers feel the Power of the Holy Ghost and be convinced of their duty, honor, and obligation to their unborn children, and be the strong shoulder to lean on that thy Daughters need so badly.

May those men and brothers radiate true manhood: the kind that is as strong as steel and yet as tender as linen. May they have the courage, honor, and fortitude to support their wives or girlfriends and children as thou has ordained. May their Hearts remember their commitments in the Grand Counsel.

Please, please, please Father, forgive those Daughters who have already done this, to know of thy Love, personally; to receive an answer to their prayers for forgiveness, that they can be filled with knowledge that surpasseth all understanding.

Thank you for the Sacrifice of thy Son and our older Brother, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement. May every knee bow, and tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ. Amen.

Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Night has come upon us and the night has come with the Dominion belonging to God. All praise is due to God, there is none worthy of worship except God, He has no partners, and He is able to do all things. Lord, I ask you the best of this day and what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and what comes after it. Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the worst of old age. Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the grave.

For every grain of rice we are thankful for thousands of workers. For every drop of rain we are thankful for God's blessings.
