The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:3-7 

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for this new day. Father, thank you for your faithfulness to me through every moment, every day, every month, every year of my life. I am grateful that through experience I know you keep your promises and answer my prayers. I praise you for all you have done for me. No words can express my appreciation. Only you know how I truly feel. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 

Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV)

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”

This verse affirms that those who have gone before us are not lost, they surround us as a “cloud of witnesses,” encouraging us to continue in faith.

Lord Jesus Christ, You who see beyond our faults and call us beloved. Let Your vision shine through our eyes today. Where we see brokenness, help us offer healing. Where we see sin, help us remember mercy. Where we see ourselves in others, let us forgive as You have forgiven us. Teach us to walk tenderly, to pray boldly, to love without condition. Let every encounter be a chance to reflect Your peace. May Your grace flow through our words, Your healing through our hands, and Your compassion through our hearts. We thank You for the power to restore, not by our strength, but by Your Spirit. In every moment, remind us: We are never separated from Your love. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for another day to breathe and to enjoy this new day with you. Lord Jesus, from before my birth you have been my God, loving me even before I took my first breath. What a breathtaking thought that is! To know you have never left and when I loose my breath for a moment, you Lord Jesus, give it back for me to live again. What a comfort knowing that my life is securely in your control and that you are always with me and all of your creation, guiding and directing for your glory. I praise you for creating me and showing me there is a art to everything in this world. Your creation is in the image of you. Unique! I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
