Abba,

I come before You with gratitude and wonder, acknowledging the abundance of Your blessings in my life. Thank You for the richness of life You have given me. Help me to share Your goodness and grace with others today in every way I can.

Shine brightly through my life, both in words and actions.
Help me to encourage the discouraged, give hope to the weary, and be a source of joy to those around me. Jesus, You are the Hope, the Life, and the Way.

This is my praise:

“I will sing for joy in God,
explode in praise from deep in my soul!
He dressed me up in a suit of salvation,
He outfitted me in a robe of righteousness.”
(Isaiah 61)

Keep me from being distracted from Your will. Guard my heart from seeking happiness in things that can never truly satisfy.

Today I pray for those who are struggling to find their way, for those living under the threat of violence or war, and for those who are hungry and thirsty. Be their Provider. Make a way for them, as only You can.

I pray all of this in the holy name of Jesus. Amen.
