Heavenly Father, let us feel close to thee, Grant, O Lord, that in this moment we may truly surrender our lives to thee and realize the power that is within us so that we may overcome all difficulties in ourselves and be confident and sure through the help of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray.
Amen
