Father in Heaven,
Holy are you, Lord God Almighty, for you alone are worthy of all glory, honor and praise.
You call us to live every aspect of our lives in Your presence, and so we come before You just as we are. Along with the precious ointments that the wise men carried we bring to You, as well, the pain, sorrow and suffering that we've experienced. We lay them before You because they are all a part of who we are. We ask that good may come from whatever negative things happen to us, knowing that nothing can ever separate us from Your love.
Hear our prayers, Lord, in the precious name of your Son, our Lord and Savior,
Amen
