The daily prayer of our hearts should be for God to lead us to the path of righteousness. In our own strength, we cannot hope to live a life that pleases God. We are bound to fail. But, we serve a God full of mercy and grace. It does take being intentional to surrender our plans and ways to Him. Let us allow God to direct our steps and lead us in the way to go.

As children of God, we have been saved from darkness and brought into the light. That light is being saved from our sins. So, each day is an opportunity to be thankful for being children of the light. We show gratitude by living like we are children of the light and telling others about that light. Let us be thankful to God, who redeems us and forgives our sins.

"FOCUS ON YOURSELF, PEOPLE COME AND GO. YOU WILL BE ALONE IN THE MOST DIFFICULT TIME OF YOUR LIFE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NOT PREPARED ADEQUATELY IN YOUR LATER YEARS".

We should always pray, during good times and during bad times. Praying is simply dialogue with God. It is not only asking God to supply our needs. But it is also about listening for His instructions. Let us be committed to a life of prayer. And let us be careful not to just come to God about the things that we want, like a spoiled child. God is not a genie that grants our wishes. But God is willing to give us instructions for daily life, strength when we are weak, and wisdom when we have to make decisions. Let us be unselfish in our prayers and in our communication with God.

God is with us. In His Word, He promises to not leave His children. Even when it doesn't look or feel like it, God is still standing on His promise to never forsake us. If we are His children, we should be careful not to worry or to be afraid. We have a heavenly Father that cares about the major and minor details of our lives. Our response to this kind of love should be gratitude and praise for how good God is.
