Our father from whom all blessings flow,

I come before you as your humble servant,

To lay all my cares concerns before you.

First I lay all these feelings that I have for this city and its people

Mostly because they are foremost in my thoughts;

All the feelings they have for me;

All the concerns that I have about living here,

 born here, and the reality of today’s world

Father you know that all I want is a place after my own heart.

I lay everything at your feet.

Next I lay this house I bought because I thought I was going to live there,

And now I have no idea what to do with it.

I lay my children and their children before you,

I want their back to be straight more than I want anything else.

Father, I place my life before you.

Even though I get by I want to use my time productively and

Make conscious decisions and solid plans for the future

I want to contribute positively to this city and its people.

I place everything at your feet,

I am emptying myself of every care and concern.

I ask for wisdom and direction.

Father shows me what to do, your will be done
