Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, help me to be an oak of righteousness, strong, courageous and growing steady and sure through all stages of life. Give me patience to persevere and a beauty that radiates your love and glory. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Isaiah 61:3-4
