You Are Not the Only One

Dear Abba,

Today, I express my gratitude and ask You, Lord, to be the source of victory in my life. I put my hope in You and praise You for your unwavering support. Lord, as the Psalmist asks, “‘Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; help of my countenance and my God.‘ Psalm 43:5.

Abba, this verse reminds me to place my hope in You, because You are the source of my strength and comfort. Sometimes, I forget that I put my absolute trust in people. .

Lord, it has been, and still is, a challenging year. Thank You for bringing me back from the abyss of circular reasoning and into the “Joy of the Lord is [which] my strength..” That is the reality of my walk with You. Glory! Psalm 32:11

Lord, I know that the Holy Spirit sometimes stops me and tells me to be still because He is working on what concerns me. Sometimes, that is hard for me because I want an immediate reaction to a situation or circumstance. But I am grateful for the times when Your patience and guidance have led me to a [specific blessing/guided me to the right person]. Thank You, Abba, for being patient with me and doing what is best for me despite me.

You are my Saviour and my God. May Your banner of love wave over me, my work, and my life so that You receive all glory. You always bring me back to Your house of praise, and Your love for me never fails. Song of Solomon 2:4

Lord, You bring love, joy, and victory into my life. Help me to share Your love and life with others, to be a beacon of Your grace and hope in this dark, dark world where human life is worth nothing to so many people. Abba, I know that Your joy is my strength, Nehemiah 8:10, and I am grateful. I will love You forever, Abba. Abba, I also pray for the children of Jasper County who know You as their Lord. I pray that You will inspire them to share Your Love with their classmates because children are living in an unprecedented time of danger and uncertainty.

They need to know that the almighty creator of all things loves them and is their protector. I don’t worry about them because I know that You love them, Abba. Send your covering angel army to cover every building where children are being taught today and inspire their teachers to pray for their charges, too, in the loving name of Your Son and our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord. I pray these things, amen.
