Thank you, Father God, for allowing me to be here today. Thank you for my abilities and for my family and friends. Thank you for where I am and for where I am going. Thank you for closing doors and opening others. Thank you, God, for love and grace and mercy, for your provision and for teaching me. Please work in me and through me; help me to be like you and to get out of my own way. Thank you for my son and helping him along the way. Thank you for his health, for his opportunities, for always standing with him and carrying him when needed. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
