Father God, I ask that you give me the courage to break the ties that bind and hold me back. Show me the way to truly forgive from the heart and not just from the mouth. Father God, cleanse my heart and soul and make me an empty vessel that I may be filled with your grace and wonder and Father guide my thoughts and my words today in all that I do. Make your presence all that I need in my life and world. Bless those that I love and those that do not know that I love them. Amen
