We stand before You with grateful hearts for Your many                        
blessings upon our country, our State and our personal lives.                  
                                                                               
A new day has dawned and new opportunities present                            
themselves to each of us.  May we use this day carefully, and                  
wisely, making the most of our time and efforts.                               
                                                                               
Keep us, O God, in Your tender care throughout this day and                   
grant us, O God, a sense of Your touch all along the way.

Give each one of us a genuine spirit of cooperation, so that                  
we can work effectively with each other.                                       
                                                                               
Finally, we pray for wisdom to know the truth in all matters                  
and the courage to do what is good and right for all.  We pray                 
all this to the One who created us and sustains us.  Amen.

Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we humbly come before You                       
to offer our thanks for Your help during this time of crisis in                
the Mat-Su Valley.                                                             
                                                                               
We ask that You give strength and comfort to the hundreds of                  
our friends and neighbors who've lost their homes, their                       
businesses, and their personal possessions.                                    
                                                                               
We also thank You, Lord, for the compassion displayed                         
throughout this great state and country, of people coming                      
together to help their fellow man during this time of need.                    
                                                                               
Please guide and protect the brave volunteers and personnel as                
they continue to battle this force of nature.  Intervene to                    
enable them to bring this serious situation under control                      
without further destruction and hardship.                                      
                                                                               
Dear God, may Your mercy and peace be with all those most                     
impacted by this tragedy, and allow us to somehow                              
comprehend Your will in all this, as residents of the Mat-Su                   
look to the future in rebuilding their lives and community.                    
                                                                               
We ask these things in Your Holy Name, Amen.
