Hey friends, just in case you needed a reminder that God loves you and a little help with prayer today. God made you special, to have purpose, to trust him, and to love him with all your heart!

Good morning God,

 THANK YOU for waking me up this morning to spend time with you, those I love, and for another opportunity to grow in my faith. Even though I doubt my purpose or effectiveness at times Lord, your word tells me to keep my eyes fixed on you. I struggle with this, I struggle with trust, but I pray I am not moved by what I see or feel but rather I am moved by you, having confidence that you are guiding my steps. I pray to be careful in my thinking, listening, and speaking so that my testimony glorifies you and encourages others. Thank you that your word reminds me to think on good things.

I have so much going on in my life and these times feel so uncertain, but you God are always certain and steady Lord. You are my rock, and You are an awesome God. Where else does my help come from. I am on my knees father God because I long to hear from you above everything else. I lay down my life, my pride, my fears, and my dreams at your feet because you are an awesome God, Sovereign, and your ways are good. Thank you for compassion towards me and my family.

Father God, please illuminate yourself today, in a way there is no denying your presence. Lord I pray for the willingness, desire, and wisdom to flee from sin and temptation so that I can live in peace with you and others. God, I am in tune and ready to jump in where you lead. Thank you for your careful care, love and forgiveness. This day is a gift from You, and I choose to rejoice and be glad in it in Jesus name, AMEN!
