Heavenly Father,

You have given us a wonderful gift of freewill.
You allow us to make the choice to follow you.
You do not force or impose your will upon us.
We are grateful!
This gift of freewill gives us the power to love.
This gift gives us the freedom to choice not to love.
This gift can lift us up or weigh us down.
We need your help!
Send your Holy Spirit to guide us to choices for life.
Help us to see and follow the example of Jesus, your Son.
Open us to understand that love exsists in your commandments.
Heal our brokeness!
Strengthen us to always choice the gift of life.
Enlighten us to see the preciousness of life.
Dewell within us so that we may know the Creator of Life.
We love you, our Father.
Amen
