Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Dear Lord, our hearts bow before you. We confess how easily we’re drawn into chasing what fades, forgetting that true worth is found in obedience and devotion to you. Teach us to see through your eyes—to value what is eternal, not what sparkles for a moment. Give us the strength to trust your plans, even when they feel small or hidden. Grant us the courage to walk faithfully in quiet places where only you see. Shape our hearts to be wholly yours—hearts that seek you, trust you, and bring you glory. Thank you for choosing us, even when we feel unseen. Draw near to us as you promised, and make us steadfast in your love. Amen.
