Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day, thank you for the breath in my lungs and the strength in my body. Thank you for my family. Thank you for the people I’ve been blessed to know and the opportunities along the way. Thank you for Your mercy and faithfulness. Thank You for Your sacrifice and forgiveness. Forgive me for my ignorance and pride, and for taking what You’ve given me for granted. I pray for today and a stronger faith for tomorrow. God, strengthen me to fight against my enemies with the sword of the Spirit. Protect me with the shield of faith. Guide me with the sandals of peace. Hold me with the belt of truth. Give me knowledge through the helmet of salvation, and may Your light shine through the breastplate of righteousness. I expect great things from You, but in return You expect great faithfulness. May I pursue and honor You in my ways. Amen.
