## Written prayer

"Dear Lord, blessed are You, my Rock and my God. You alone deserve glory and praise, and I repent for any time I have tried to steal praise and recognition for myself. You look favorably upon the humble, and You deal graciously with the gracious. I do not want to slip into corruption and arrogance. I want to step into peace, favor, and rest.

Support me in my pursuit of righteousness, and strengthen me as I battle my own pride. Tomorrow will have its temptations, so as I place my head on the pillow, train my mind and heart for the war against sin. Remind me that ultimate victory is found in You. As I lay my head down to rest tonight, shore me up in You. Ground me in humility and strengthen my bones for tomorrow’s mission. In Jesus’ name, I trust and pray, Amen."
