Our Heavenly Father, Lord God Most High:

We thank you for our friends, our guests, our leaders, and our colleagues.

Today we ask for your presence. We ask that you would visit us and bless us with words of comfort and encouragement. Help us to excel in our communication and let us prosper in our sharing. May each of us find light, kindness and edification in our fellowship with one another.

Lord, we ask that you would be gracious and merciful in your provisions. Help us to do our part as individuals and as a community to make the world a better place to live.

As we humble ourselves in your presence, we acknowledge our strengths and our weaknesses. We know that without you, we are helpless. But with you on our side, all things are possible.

So Lord, as we begin our meeting today, we ask you to guide us in our efforts and inspire us in our aspirations. Help us to be the people we were meant to be.

Lord, we also ask, as we call on your holy name, that you would bless the meal that’s prepared. We give you thanks, even as we ask you to smile upon those who made all of this possible.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
