The prayer
Written prayerThank you heavenly father for your beautiful words of encouragement. You will never leave me or forsake me. You go before me and guide me in the way I should go. Knowing you are with me there is no need for me to fear or be distressed. Your word is truth and you are not a man that you would lie. All I have to do is like the old bible song says, ‘trust and obey, for theirs no other way, to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey.’ I will stand in the face of adversity with hope and joy in my heart knowing you are with me and I am not alone. You are watching over me and know everything I encounter or am about to encounter. You will not fail me in my darkest moments, when I can’t see a way forward, when I am confused and depressed, and when I feel like giving up. You are my hope and the light of my soul. I will speak to my soul like David did and remind myself of your promises. I command my spirit to rise up in joy for the Lord God Almighty is with me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
