Strategic Planning Opening Prayer

Father God, we gather here today under your care and protection. Thank you for your loving kindness
that never fails us. Thank you for all the blessings you bestowed on us.

Sometimes, we get tired and frustrated. We begin to lose hope and untangle yourselves from you. We
are on cross roads every now and then, and yes, it is easy to quit. However, you are bigger than these
challenges. We know that this is your way of strengthening us.

Grant us, O, Lord, calmness, optimism, patience, wisdom and understanding to one another. Grant us
the humility, acceptance and peace to make things better for us and our community.

Keep us going to become stronger and better as one community.

We may not be able to achieve our goals overnight but please hold on to us. Don’t give us on, Lord.
Touch the hearts of everyone not to give up. Remind us that our 5-year plan is nothing without our
mind, heart, soul and whole being into it.

Bless our facilitator, Sir Ferdie, the wisdom and the power to manifest Your will through him. Bless all
our administrators and every member of this community. We are your humble servants and we are here
to follow Your will.

We ask this through the powerful name of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
