Heavenly Father,

We thank Thee for sending Thy Son, Jesus Christ, to come down here to this earth to be our Savior, Lord, and King. Thank you for His sacrifice in our behalf. Thank you for His fasting in the Wilderness. We ask Thee that we may also give something as a sacrifice to show our love and appreciation for Thy continual goodness to us each day. In our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
