Most Benevolent God, I rejoice in the fact that through the surrender of my life to You, I have been given everything that I need. When I grow tired from daily struggles, I turn to You for rest. When I am spiritually and physically drained, I look to You for my refreshing. When I am at my weakest and feel most vulnerable, You provide me with an infusion of Your courage and strength. As I take Your hand at the beginning of each day, I look forward to being taken where I can prosper and mature. You are faithful to me in every way and I can always count on You being there when I need You. Even as I go through the darkest of times, I will not be afraid because Your light shows me the way to go. I stand confidently in the knowledge that Your goodness and mercy are with me at all times. Your armor shields me from the fiery darts of my enemies and no weapon that is formed against me can prevail.
In coming to know You, my heart has been filled with joy and hope. Joy because I’ve come to realize that I’m cherished and loved … I am destined to be an overcomer rather than one who is overcome … I am the head and not the tail … I have protection from those who wish to do me harm … there is nothing placed before me that cannot be brushed aside, if only I will believe … I am an heir to more blessings than I can imagine … I have been set free from the shackles of sin, death and hell … I possess an invaluable gift in the Holy Spirit … and, all my needs are met, sometimes even before I ask for them. I am hopeful because my hope is in You. Your hope allows me to see the good in my future rather than the hopelessness that awaits me. Your hope gives me an optimistic view of today and tomorrow which energizes me and prepares me for whatever I will face.
From the depths of my heart, praise pours out to You day and night. In the morning when I awake, You come to mind and I cannot wait to see what You are going to do for me and what You are going to ask me to do for You. Throughout my day, I find myself praising You for all of the good things You’ve done for me. And, when bad times come, I continue to give You praise knowing that You are standing by my side and will show me the way past my problems. My life is the most worthwhile when I take my eyes off of me and put them on You. Your Word is a perpetual light unto my feet showing me a better way. The Holy Spirit is my Comforter and shows me how to prevail. Your love surrounds me at all times making me feel valued and treasured. That is why at night when I lay my head on a pillow, I continue to praise to the Holy One that I serve. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Psalm 34:1-2 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and rejoice.
