Let us begin with prayer:

(Lord God, we enter your presence this morning and invite You to fill our hearts and our physical spaces with Your presence. We ask you to sanctify our homes.

We come into Your presence with thankfulness and stand humbled before You. You are our God and brought us safely through the night, us and our loved ones. I thank You for allowing us a new day and that we can start our day with You.)

Psalm 143:8

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,

for I have put my trust in you.

Show me the way I should go,

for to you I entrust my life.

Lord my God, Thank you for a new day. Thank you for having a purpose for our lives today and a plan with our futures. Thank you, God, that nothing happens by chance and that you use everything for our good and Your glory.

You are God and there is no other God.

Lord, thank you for loving me enough to save me from the chains I fastened around myself. Thanks for loving me enough to save me from the sins I allow in my life. Thanks for loving me enough to want to take that which harms me from my life. Thanks for wanting to be a part of my life. Thank you for your love for me, which is greater than I can ever understand as a human being.

Thank you for wanting the best for me. So, I humbly ask that You help me not stand in my own way. I ask that You help me to keep my eyes on You, Lord. I ask that You help me to listen to Your voice and not the voices of the world. I ask you, Lord, to help me move closer to you and further from what hurts me.

I ask You today to help me be the person You see when You look at me. I ask you to change my perception so I can see with eyes that see You in every situation. I ask You today, Lord, to intercede in my life and to guard me from that which turns my heart from You. I ask the strength and will to not give my attention to what distracts me from You, Lord.

I admit this morning, Lord, that You are God. That You are in control of my life. I am not able to walk this road you created for me with my own wisdom and strength. I admit this morning that I need You in all that I do. Nothing can achieve victory that You did not place your blessing upon.

Lord, I ask You humbly not to allow me to be my biggest enemy. Help me to subject my willfulness, selfishness, hardheadedness, thoughtless opinions, and every negative trait to You and to focus on that which is beautiful and uplifting.

God, help me to see the good and not to grumble like the Israelites in the desert while You provide for my every need. Help me, Father, to strive for the positive and to cut the negative from my life.

Father, help me to be less of me and more of You. Let Your light shine through me. Let Your will be done in my life because Your will for me is better than my will for myself. Your plans for me are better and greater than my plans for myself.

Philippians 4:8 NIV:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Thank you, Holy god, that I might live in Your presence. Thank you for Your Holy Spirit living in me. Thank you that I am not alone. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for working together all things for my good and Your glory. Thank you that self the moments of weakness and the dark days serve You. Thank you that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you that You are God. That today, tomorrow, and forever, You are the same. Thank you for creating me in Your image. Teach me Your ways, Lord God, and let your teachings fall on fertile soil to bear fruit according to Your will.

I give this day into your hands, lead me Lord. Show me the way I must walk, so I will not stumble and fall. Protect me, keep me, and help me. Protect my loved ones, friends, my chosen family, and my brothers and sisters in faith.

Thank you, Lord, that I may speak to You and bring my problems, hopes, and dreams to You. Thank you for You for Your love and grace. Thank you, Lord, that your mercy is new every day.

Forgive me my sins, Lord. Forgive me for the sins I do without knowing and the ones I do, knowing full well what I do. Thank you, Jesus, that You washed me clean with Your blood. Thank you, Jesus, that You paid the price for my sins. Thank you that I am a new person in You, Jesus. Thank you that I can harvest the fruit of your victory. Help me, Father, to reach my potential and to accept that which You have given to me and live in it.

I speak God's blessing over whoever reads this letter. I speak God's blessing over your families, lives, businesses, and dreams. I speak God's peace over you. I speak God's presence over You. I do this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Name above all names.
