Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Dear Lord, as I listen to the truths in today's reading, I thank You for giving me the beatitudes of how I'm supposed to “be” in order to live a life of full abundance and freedom. As I begin to honor the way that I am called to live I thank You that as I pray to You I do not have to worry about where I am going to eat or where I am going to sleep because when I live in divine obedience to You and Your word You continually provide all that I need. Therefore, I declare that worry and fear will no longer be a part of my story, for I know that like a good parent You too desire to feed and provide for every need I have. In addition, I acknowledge that my greatest command is to Love You and to Love my neighbors as myself. With these truths fastened tight around my heart I will live at a higher level, I will serve with greater humility, and I will lead with my way of being so others may see my life and follow You Lord!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
