Remember, God is perpetually with you, taking care of you. That is the most important fact of your existence. He is not limited by time or space; His presence with you is a forever-promise. You need not fear the future, for He is already there. When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Him awaiting you in heaven. Your future is in His hands; He releases it to you day by day, moment by moment. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. Thank You Lord for the constant assurance of Your love, care and concern for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today."
Matthew 6:34 (NRSV)

Abba Father, I bow before You this day and declare that You are Lord over every area of my life. I surrender myself and my life to You and invite You to rule in every part of my mind, body, and spirit. I love You Lord with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind. I commit to trusting You with my whole being. Enable me to deny myself in order to take up my cross daily and follow You. I want to be Your disciple just as You have said in Your Word. I want to lose my life in You so I can save it. Lord, be my strong tower where I can continue to hide in You. In Jesus’ holy and righteous name,Amen.

"If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. "

Thank You for being with me through every trial, every day. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Jesus let Your love and light radiate in me and through me dispelling all fear and darkness. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
