Heavenly Father, I confess that sometimes I forget to remember Your faithfulness from the past, especially when I am overwhelmed with unpredictable things today. Keep reminding me, as I walk through this new day, that You not only see me but You love me. I don’t know exactly what tomorrow will look like, but I do know who I’ll be looking to — You, Lord. Your love is unfailing, and in Your hand is the safest place to rest my hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

By Your power and Your strength, be my portion to fill any gaps where I find myself falling short or falling behind. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
