Sunday Supplication - Restore, Nurture, Create

O God, we thank you for your love. Because you have given us your Son, we trust that your goodness toward us is greater than we are able to comprehend. We ask you to help us love you above all else. Help us to love you in all things and in every circumstance. We trust you to keep your promises and we ask you to shape our desires.

Forgive us our sins. Help us to turn away from what is wrong and teach us to do what is right. Make us willing and able to forgive others as you have forgiven us. Help us to think, speak, and act in ways that restore lives, nurture relationships, create peace, and bring honor to you.

Help us, Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways—in every aspect of our lives—teach us to acknowledge you. Direct our paths and make our ways straight. Cause our faith to grow stronger and help us to enjoy lives that are filled with contentment, purpose, and hope.

Through Christ, we pray. Amen.
