Lord almighty father, I come before thee this morning with thanksgiving in my heart for your love, mercy, and kindness. I give you all the glory and honor and surrender my heart, soul, mind, and everything that I have unto you, Lord. God, I pray for your protection upon us, Lord, and guidance in everything that we do. Lord, you know we are weak and we can easily fall for the tricks of the evil one who is out there searching for our souls. Give us wisdom to be able to differentiate your spirit and the evil spirit. Mighty Lord, I thank you for each and every person on this board; we are all here, Lord, to support one another. Your word tells us that whenever two or more people meet for your purpose, Lord, you are present. I thank you for being here with us, Lord, and just like you knew each of us before we were formed into our mother's womb, Lord, you know the needs of each and every person here. Lord Jesus, I humbly ask you, Lord, to take our cup of burden, for we are unable to carry. Lord, I pray that you bless each one of us and comfort us, for you are our dear Daddy. Search our souls, Lord, and anything that is not of your kingdom in us, remove it, that we will be able to serve you, Lord. Forgive our sins and let your Holy Spirit dwell in us, Lord. In Jesus' name, I pray. AMEN.
