Dear Jesus, I welcome You into my heart and life.

Loving God, thank You for the gift of Scripture and how it helps me learn about Jesus.

Heavenly Father, please help me to trust in You and to rest in the quiet awareness of Your unfailing love.

Help me, loving God, to see others not as enemies, but as Your precious people to love like Jesus does.

Dear God, words fail me when I see Your people’s faith and courage in heartbreaking circumstances. Give me the courage to follow You like that.

Loving Father, I was Your enemy and You called me friend. Enable me to be a peacemaker so I can show that same grace to others.

Father, thank You for creating music and using it to soothe my heart and mind during times of struggle.

Father, thank You for the encouragement I’ve received, and help me to encourage others.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Scripture that guides my path. Remind me to build my foundation on it.

Father, thank You for Your constant presence in my life, guiding me and fighting for me when I face suffering and injustice.

Father, thank You for Your endless mercy and patience with me. Thank You that I can trust in Your everlasting love.

I’m grateful, God, that I never really walk alone. Help me in my desperation.

Dear God, this world can be a lonely place, but I’m astounded at how truly You know me. It fills me with wonder and joy.

Ever wise and loving God, help me to be humble and to listen for Your wisdom today. Thank You that when I ask for wisdom, You give “generously . . . without finding fault” (James 1:5).

Dear Jesus, thank You for the great love You showed me by dying for me. Let Your love change me, heal me, and direct my relationships.

Loving God, You’ve given me the gift of Your words in the Bible. Help me to treasure them with gratitude and wonder.

Jesus, let my restless soul find peace and rest in You alone.

I want to serve You, God! Use my hands, my feet, my mouth, whatever You like! Help me to live for You today.

Father, open my eyes each day to see the hurting and needy people around me. Open my heart to do what I can to show them what God’s love looks like.

God, our Provider, grant me the wisdom to discern opportunities before me and the faith to follow Your way, that I might always do what pleases You.
