Blessed Holy God,

Thank You! Yes. Thank You that we know You to be blessed and holy. Thank You that You and Your Word of Truth and promises teach of the freedom found in forgiveness.

Thank You for the opportunity to wake up singing [♪Make Room♪]. And smiling. Thank You that we get to learn to stand firmly and stay our minds on the power we have in the name of Jesus.

Yes Lord. I’m asking (Matthew 7:7) that Your mighty power be made manifest in my life! I want to ♪Break Every Chain♪ and ♪Take It All Back♪

I love the ways You sing and speak to my heart. My soul. My mind. My strength. Use me this day. The one You have made (Psalm 118:24a). I truly long to rejoice and be glad in it (24b).

Father God, thank You for extra time to rest. To read texts from people who love and encourage me.

Thank You Lord that You are such a good, good Father that You provide our every single need. In ways we often could never imagine.

At every juncture we get to choose. Turn right? Or left? Go straight? Or reverse? You allow us choices. Lord, I truly want to make the ones that bring life and blessings (Deuteronomy 30:19). I want to love and obey You, because You are my life (v. 20).

The comment in The Life Recovery Bible tells us, “The way to life is choosing God and His gracious forgiveness through Jesus Christ.” Yes, please!

I want to live the life You have for me. In You. With You. By, through and for You. Father, I love, need, trust and want You. Do all You must that I will represent You well. Bringing glory and honor to Your most holy name. Use me. Thank You. Amen.
