Lord, thank you for being such an awesome God. Thank you that prayer brings us into a personal walk with you. Thank you that we can pray any time of day, in any circumstance. Thank you that you never sleep or slumber: you are there any hour of the night and day. May your Name be praised and the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Thank you for the power of your Holy Spirit that energizes our prayers. We give our lives to you afresh. Thank you for continued blessings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
