Thankful Sunday Blessings

Heavenly Father,
On this blessed Sunday, as we celebrate the Baptism of Your Son, Jesus, in the Jordan River, I thank You for the gift of my own baptism. Help me to live each day aware of the dignity and responsibility of being a Christian and a child of God.

I ask You to renew within me the grace of my baptism. You are a loving and tender Father, and I come before You with humility, aware of my weaknesses and of how difficult it can be at times to follow Your will. I acknowledge that I can do nothing today without You by my side—without Your strength guiding me along the path You have prepared for me.

This morning, I surrender myself completely to Your holy will. I feel Your presence surrounding me and giving me strength. With You, my life is filled with purpose, and everything takes on new meaning, because only in You do I find true and lasting happiness. Faithful God, I bless You, for in Your Word I always find direction, comfort, and hope.

Send Your Holy Spirit upon me, Lord, and let Him dwell within my heart. Kindle His fire within me so that I may live in true freedom—free from attachments and sins that pull me away from Your love. Deliver me from anything that keeps me from moving forward and from placing You at the center of my life. I desire to speak of You, proclaim Your name, and be a witness to the countless graces and blessings You pour out upon me each day.

Fill my soul with Your peace so that I may act with wisdom, clarity, and discernment in every challenge I face. As I awaken today, a deep longing is born within me to draw closer to You, and my heart rejoices at this new encounter with You. Father in heaven, I place before You everything that weighs upon my soul and troubles my heart.

Heal me, Lord. Free me from anxiety and remove every burden. Help me remain faithful and trust in Your perfect timing. Give me the strength I need to persevere and not fall again into the snares of sin. Fill my heart with Your peace so that I may act with sound judgment, wisdom, and calm in the midst of difficulties.

May Your holy will be fulfilled in my life, and may my actions bear witness to Your living and loving presence. Beloved Lord, do not allow me to fall into destructive criticism or speak harsh or careless words that may wound others. Guard my lips and my heart so that everything I say may bring life and not harm.

Grant me inner peace, Lord, for with a peaceful heart I can live with greater awareness and balance. With a calm soul, I leave behind the guilt of the past that You have already forgiven through Your infinite mercy. I firmly believe that with You I will find rest and serenity, because You never abandon me and You always provide what I truly need.

Heal my mind, Lord, and grant me wisdom and understanding so that I may face life without being overcome by worry. May Your Holy Spirit descend upon me and give me the courage to follow You faithfully and to proclaim Your Kingdom in this new day.

Amen.

Today, I renew my baptismal commitment, renouncing sin and asking for the help of the Holy Spirit to live as a true child of God and a faithful follower of Christ.

As Scripture says in Psalm 138:
“All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, when they hear the words of Your mouth. Great is the glory of the Lord.”

May the Lord bless us on this day.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
