The prayer
Written prayerDear Lord, You are my Refuge and Delight. In the morning, Your steadfast love is before me. In the evening, as my eyes grow heavy and my mind wanders, I consider Your faithfulness. I want my life to be a song of praise to You - a ballad of blessing and an anthem against anxiety. I want to be like that cedar tree planted in Your courts, leaves teeming with life and vitality. I want my roots to dig deep into You, causing fruit to bear from my branches even in old age. Surround me with Your righteousness, Lord, so that I can endure life’s struggles. Clothe me in the whole armor of God, so I can run and not grow weary, fight and not faint, and praise even amid persecution. Tonight, as my sighs of supplication turn to dozing breaths, root me in You so I can continue to praise You forevermore.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
