Father in Heaven,

I am grateful for the love which Thou has given to me throughout my life. I am grateful for the gospel, for the atonement and the sacrifice of Thy son. I feel Thy love throughout my life, and am grateful for the Spirit which guides me in my daily routines. I thank Thee for these blessings; I do not know where I would be without the love which Thou gives to me.

I am grateful for the love which my husband and children have for me and for my parents and siblings. I am grateful for the prophet, and for the auxiliaries of the church. I'm grateful for Thy temples and the peace I am able to feel as I enter to do Thy work.

Father, I pray at this time that Thou will continue to bless me as I go throughout my day. I pray that I may have courage to stand for right, that I may make choices according to how Thou would have me choose. I ask a blessing on my children, that they may be safe from harm, that they may also remember Thy love, and have the spirit close to them as they strive to do what is right. I pray for my husband that he may be safe as he travels to and from work, that he may have a good day, where his workload will be light. I pray that I will be able to have the spirit with me as I go through the day that I am be able to know what is best for my children and teach them of Thee.

Father I also ask Thee to watch over my parents and brother and sisters. I ask the missionaries to be blessed as they spread Thy gospel, the prophet, and church leaders to also be watched over. I pray for those in need that they may find comfort, be healed when sick and fed when hungry, and I ask to know if I can serve them - and also the way in which I should serve. I ask that those who are searching for Thee may have their hearts softened, that they may feel the spirit and know of the truthfulness of Thy gospel.

I ask Thee to forgive me for the sins in my life. Give me strength to over-come where I have weakness. Help me to be slow to anger, to keep my mind clean, and to follow the commandments. I pray to understand the scriptures, and to know of those things which I trespass, that I may correct them. Forgive me,and help me to accept the atonement into my life, that through Christ I may gain eternal life.

I thank thee again for all that has been given. These things I pray, and ask for with all my heart, and with humility. Thy will be done,

In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen
