Dear Heavenly Father,

Praised are you my Lord and may your holy name be praised in the heavens above and on the earth below for ever and ever.

Thank you for bringing me to this day, for waking me and breathing life into my soul.  Thank you for blessing me with one more day to spend with those I love and one more chance to be your light in this world.  Father, I pray you grant me the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word and to show your love.  I ask that you fill my heart with mercy so that I may be forgiving with others as freely as you have been forgiving with me.  Father, may your face never be removed from before, and may you guide my steps along your narrow path.  May I not stray to the right or the left, but remained centered in your all your wisdom and truth.  Father, please help me be a light to the nations, and be an example of righteousness in your love.

Father, I pray for the comfort of those who were injured, and the families of those who have perished in the slaughter in Las Vegas.  Please grant them peace and comfort during this difficult time, and help to open the eyes of the problems of those people who commit such heinous acts.  Father, I pray that your will always be done on this earth, and that which doesn't come from you, I ask that you destroy.  For too long we have been living in a land that was blessed by you, but corrupted by evil.  For too long we have allowed people to sway us one way or the other without looking to you for guidance.  Father, please place your name over our nation one more time.  Please protect us from the evil that is trying to destroy this country, the evil of Communism, Socialism, and all the other ways of thought that move your children away from you.  You are our God, you are our King, and you are our Salvation.  Please save us my God and destroy the Enemy once and for all.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who protects his people from evil and grants them safety in his kingdom.

Amen!
