Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You today humbled and grateful for Your unwavering love and guidance. Lord, I seek to place my trust wholly in You. When I falter and let doubt creep into my heart, remind me of Your faithfulness and kindness.
Help me, Father, to surrender my worries and anxieties, knowing that You hold everything in the palm of Your hand. Fill me with the confidence to lean on Your wisdom, especially when I can’t see the path ahead. In moments of uncertainty, let my trust in You become a pillar of strength.
Thank You for being my protector and provider. Teach me to trust You not just in the grand moments, but in the small, everyday decisions as well. May my faith in You grow deeper each day as I witness Your hand at work in my life.
Guide my heart to trust Your timing and Your plan, understanding that You know what is best for me even when I do not. Lord, walk with me and calm my fears, for I know that in trusting You, I find true peace and fulfillment.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
