Heavenly Father,
I am grateful to You once again to be able to join this wonderful group of brothers and sisters in Christ and listen to understand your everlasting words.

I am grateful to have Fr. Vazken illuminate and interpret your words so that we can better live closer to you and Your desire for us to conduct and live our lives.

Thank you for providing us your Word so that we may gain strength and face challenges and difficulties as we begin our new week, and may they keep us mindful of our actions and thoughts as you know us so well inside and out Lord. May the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ dwell within until we meet again next week, in Your son’s name, Amen

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Heavenly Father,

I thank You for loving me. I thank You for always protecting me from evil and carrying me in the palm of Your hands. I thank You for all the blessings You have given me in my earthly life.

I know I get weak at times and I allow the enemy to creep in with doubt and fear. During these times, Father, help me to resist the temptation. Please guide my every step so that I am transformed. Help me to renew my mind and to stay strong with positive thoughts as I get closer and closer to You.

Father, I can do nothing without Your grace. No matter how much I plan or I worry, nothing will happen without Your will. I trust that You always have my higher good in mind. So, I thank You for helping and strengthening me to move forward with the decisions I have to make each day.

Father, I thank You for the new beginning You have granted me. I have faith that You will keep me healthy as I let go of past feelings and thoughts of fear and guilt. Help me to surrender my life to You. Please give my joy back and fill my heart with determination, trust, faith and love.

Father, also grant me the grace to walk in Your shoes. Help me to be a blessing to others and to serve without complaining so that I am worthy of Your protection. 

I pray this in Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Show us the way

3rd Step Prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous

“God, I offer myself to Thee – to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.  Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.  Take away my difficulties (fears), that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.  May I do Thy will always.”

Dear God,

Show us the way to extend our love to You, to others and to ourselves.  It is through love that peace will come into the world.

May we not be tempted by the darkness of the world that You are gone.  You are here.  You are closer to us than our breath.  We are safe knowing this truth.  We are blessed.

Help us to be tolerant toward each other, to accept our differences, to not judge.  Give us the courage to combat prejudice and intolerance wherever they exist.

Bless us all God with compassion, with kindness and with peace.

Bless our Armenian race, our faith and country and help us increase in numbers with more babies. Let us have hope and courage to grow, love, prosper and serve.

Amen
