A Word of Prayer:

Dear Lord,

I don’t know what this day will bring But I do know that You are our protector and provider!!

You are our shield and strong tower … a stronghold in the day of trouble!

Help us to anchor ourselves and rest and relax in You our Redeemer!!!

Teach us how to stand strong and walk in the Spirit to glorify your name!

Help us to walk by faith in Your truth and not in our feelings.

Help us to embrace and see obstacles as an opportunity to be used as a vessel for Kingdom building!

Thank you, Lord, for your immutable, unchanging love, inexplicable mercy and your inexhaustible grace!

We love you, Lord!

In Jesus Name, Amen!!
