Prayer: Abba Father thank You for this wonderful day. Today is the day You have made for us. My God and Lord, forgive all my shortsightedness. I sinfully prefer my earthly comfort over the comfort of my holiness. Forgive me for the smallness of my faith. Despite what my flesh craves, my spirit craves Your will for me more. I want to share Your holiness and bear the peaceful fruit of righteousness. So, do whatever it takes until you have completed your good work in me. For I want more than anything to trust in you in all things at all times. I receive Your promise that “I never be alone”. Have mercy upon me. Your grace is sufficient for me. I pray this in your name and for the sake of your glory. Amen.
