Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all You do for us upon your wonderful creation. Thank You for working all things for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Grant that I do not rely upon my human understanding. Grant that I trust in You with all my heart and acknowledge You in all things so that you can make straight my paths.

Grant that I am not wise in my own eyes. Eradicate my grip on my ego and pride. Increase my grip on Your sword and shield. Grant that I do not seek evil and that satan runs from me in fear. Thank You for the grace of being Your child and a co-heir in the kingdom.

I am Yours, You are mine. Work through me today, use me as You wish. Grow me and form me into the likeness of Jesus. I fear no evil in this broken world and I will not release my grip upon Your sword and shield. I am surrenderd to You.

In the glorious name of Jesus, Amen.
