Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for abiding in us when we abide in you. Thank You for living in us

and guiding our words, thoughts, and actions. Thank You for working all things for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

Grant us the patient endurance, the character, the hope, to be obedient to Your will and plan for our lives. This hope does not disappoint because Your Love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that You have given us.

Grant that we lovingly carry our cross and follow You. Grant that we walk away from all fear, shame, and self-pity and take hold of Your hand and Your rod and staff as we walk through the valley of darkness today.

Shine Your face upon my family today, soften their hearts and grow their knowledge in Your Word and their trust in it. Thank You for always being for us. Thank You for always letting us find You when we seek You.

In Your Blessed Name, Jesus, Amen.
