Good morning, Father!

Thank you for this brand-new day. I'm still working on driving the cobwebs out of my mind. I am so grateful for my relationship with you.

I look all around me and see blessing after blessing. I see you leading me through all my trials. I see your discipline. I see your grace and mercy overflowing in my life.

I am so grateful for all your gifts, and I pray to become more responsible with them.

You have created me in your image, Lord God Almighty. I am an emotional creature because you are. Yet I know I have trouble with my emotions. Well, I guess all of us human beings do. If I don't feel like doing something, most of the time, I don't. That's not good.

With all the stuff going on in my life, I've seen how I've wanted to flee from it. I pray to regain the strength you have given me, so that I can face the challenges of life with courage and zeal.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for interceding for me. I look forward to spending time remembering the cross today.

Your son and brother,
Dan
