Prayer for today (12/17/15)

Dear God, let us give thanks to you, my Lord. Father we pray and bless your holy name. Bless the schools here and throughout the world. We thank you for our school personnel and our students. Please send us an abundant blessing. Bless everyone, especially our warriors in Iraq and protect them in battles everywhere. God, we ask you for forgiveness of our sins. We thank you for earthly blessings. We give glory unto your name. We will bring you offerings for your birth here on earth. Bless us now father, in Jesus' name. Amen.
