> Now let Us conceive a new creation—humanity—made in Our image, fashioned according to Our likeness. And let Us grant them authority over all the earth—the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, the domesticated animals and the small creeping creatures on the earth.

## Written prayer

Thank You, Father, for creating me in Your image. Thank You for giving me responsibility for and authority over Your Creation. Thank You for the Holy Spirit’s power, filling me with wisdom and strength I need to accomplish every task You have given to me. Because I am made in Your likeness, in everything I do or say, I want to be like You. I want to reflect more and more of who You are, in the way I live the life that You’ve given me. Help me to respond to every situation—every opportunity, every challenge, and every obstacle that I face—the way You have called me to. Show me what to do and I’ll do it! Today and every day, I submit my mind, my will, and my emotions to be governed by You. In every step I take, I want to be led by You. You always have in mind what’s best for me. Lord, I come from You and was made to be like You. I am Yours and I belong to You. With my whole heart, I want to be pleasing to You. I want to fulfill every one of Your plans and purposes for me.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
