Heavenly Father, I come to You this morning to give You all the praise and honor that is due unto You alone.
Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness towards me.
Father, let Your presence be felt in my life today.
I give You all my cares and burdens, and I trust that You will take care of me.
Help me, dear Lord, to keep my mind and heart focused on You today, so I will be able to receive Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Today, I choose joy despite of what may be going on in my life.
Lord, strengthen me in Your power and might so that I may be a blessing to others who are hurting.
Amen.
