## Written prayer

When Life deals me hard blows and I'm left on my knees grasping at air, like Jeremiah I will remember Your empowering words of wisdom found in the Bible. In the face of adversity I will not relent so that I can appease the itching ears of those wanting me to cower underneath the weight of their criticism. When these moments arise I will hold my head up and look up to the Heavens where my help comes from. I will not place my hope in man.. instead I will put my trust in the creator of Heaven and earth. Strengthen my stance, season my words, and let my life serve as a conduit for Your Glory. I will not back down from doing and saying what’s right, even if it means I lose favor with others, because I’d rather have the Favor of God on and over my life than the temporary favor of man.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
