Dear God, I come before you not on my own behalf.

But for their own good. Bless the ones I love.

Strengthen their faith.

Let them live with contentment and rejoice in gladness.

Protect them spiritually, physically, mentally,

emotionally and in all ways that matter.

I lift my loved ones to you. “you love them more than I do.

Before the creation of the world, they were engraved on your heart.

Ignite within them a holy passion and fire that cannot be quenched.

Draw them to yourself with an everlasting love and hope that cannot be shaken.

Make the light of your truth illuminate their path and bring them to a saving knowledge of your son.

Amen.
