Today's Prayer

Lord, thank You for protecting me by Your great power. Remind me, Lord, that this happens when I believe in You and Your promise of protection. I look forward to the day I can see You face to face and thank You in person. Until then, Lord, help me to live by faith, honor Your Holy Name, and promote Your Kingdom agenda. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
