I know that all seems to be vanity; but serving you is what matters in this life and it is not in vain.  

Those that crucified you, O Lord, mocked the King of kings by say Hail, king of the Jews, then   a few days later they crucified the Lamb of God. Thank you God for giving your Son for my sins.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. You have made everything beautiful in its time. You have put eternity in my heart. It is not in your plan for me to know your ways for they are higher than mine—I cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. Your ways are still a mystery to me! But there is nothing better for me to do than to be joyful and to do good as long as I live; for what you have done endures forever, O Lord. Nothing can be added to your word and nothing can be taken away. I fear you O Lord.

Lord, I believe that you died and rose again—thank you for the resurrection and for redemption! After you rose again, you appeared to your disciples.

And by him I will make all of my vows. I will love the Lord my God and keep his charge, his statutes, his rules and his commandments. I will take care lest my heart be deceived. I will not turn aside and serve other gods. I will lay up your words in my heart and I will teach them to my children. May your eyes always be upon me from the beginning of the year to the end of the year—every year of my life.

It is better to have never lived, than to live and do evil. Keep me from evil I pray. Help me work together with others; for you have said that two are better than one. A threefold cord is not quickly broken. May you always be a part of me, O Lord, my strong cord!

Thank you for the resurrection and for your kingdom. May I always be a part of your kingdom.  Thank you for appearing to your disciple and instructing them for forty days after your resurrection.

Do not let my heart be hasty or my mouth be rash to utter a word before the Lord God. Nor let my mouth lead me into sin. Let my words be few. Do not allow me to love money; for there is no satisfaction in money or great wealth

Let my giving be in accordance to your word and your will. Help me to obey the voice of the Lord my God, keep his commandments and do what is right in the sight of the Lord.

I know that life is vanity—except the life lived for Christ! May my life not be in vain. You, O Lord, know what is good for me and for the few days of my life—which passes like a shadow. And only you will remember me when I am gone!

Help me to give to others what I do have that you man be glorified and praised. You are the Author of life whom God raised from the dead. I repented and you blotted out my sins.

I know that there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him; for he does not know what lies ahead. Power over death and the spirit belong to you O Lord. There is no discharge from this spiritual war nor can I be delivered from wickedness by wickedness. You, deliver me O Lord!

The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happens to all of us. May the master of the universe orchestrate my life every day of my life.   

O Lord, even thought a devout man was ravaging the early Church, it caused the Gospel to be spread even further. For your apostles proclaimed the good news and the name of Jesus everywhere. Thus many received the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for the spreading of the Gospel and for the Holy Spirit O Lord; and for the hope I have in you. In Jesus’ name I ask all of this. Amen.
