Lord, today I keep my eyes on you and on your promises. You are God of heaven above and earth below and there is no other! I acknowledge that and take heart in it. I cast my life upon you. I have a life because,in your love and by your grace, you have given me a real life.  I cast my family on you; knowing that you care for us and have included us in Christ since before the foundation of the world.

In all the issues of life ahead of us Jesus is Lord and God the father is sovereign and alive and active. I count it all joy when I deal with diverse temptations for I know that the trying of my faith works patience and patience will have her perfect work.  In all of that, I will be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing. Fill me with your wisdom for the day, father.
