Father God, our Lord and King, we long to worship and obey You in joy and gladness. Please help us to live our lives and work heartily, as if everything we do is for You alone, and not for people. Thank You for not overlooking the work and love we pour out upon the people in Your name. May You continue teaching us to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to You, as a form of worship and obedience. We long to observe Your commandments, to love You by walking in Your ways, clinging to You in all circumstances, and by serving You with all of our hearts and souls. May we be good stewards of the gifts You have given us and serve each other out of the love and grace You bestowed upon us. Jesus thank You for restoring unto us the joy of Your salvation, and upholding us with willing spirits to love and follow You. Amen.
