Dear God, I want to first say thank You for everything. Thank You for who You are and all that You’ve done. Today, I pray for Your direction in my life. Your word in Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.” God, Your word is what I trust and depend on. Your word is the air that I breathe. Help me navigate this situation, knowing that You have all power in Your hands. Help me to remember that all my life You’ve been faithful and good. Your favor has surrounded me and my family through every season. There’s never been one moment that You haven’t carried me with Your goodness and mercy—and this situation I’m facing right now is no different. I will continue to trust and surrender it all. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. -Psalm 62:8

Dear God, thank You for another day. Thank You for another opportunity to see Your mercies, which are new every morning. Today, I come to You asking for Your peace to fill my heart and move through every part of me. Your word in Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” God, I need that power today. I believe with all of my heart that Your word is true and everlasting. You are not a God of confusion, but a God of peace. Thank You for stepping into my situation and bringing peace that surpasses all understanding. Thank You that even now, You’ve already made a way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. -Romans 16:20

Dear God, thank You so much for this day. Thank You for all of the blessings that I sometimes take for granted. Thank You for every good and perfect gift that comes from You. Your word in Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” Help me believe that with all of my heart, knowing that You will position me to win and walk in victory through every situation. With You, all things are possible. You are the God who sustains me and gives me all that I need. When things seem out of control, I will lift my eyes to the hills from where my help comes. You are my redeemer, my helper, and my friend. You are God alone, and no one can stop what You’re doing in my life. I give this day to You. Thank You for hearing my prayer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

No one will be able to defeat you all your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. -Joshua 1:5

Dear God, thank You for this day. Thank You for never giving up on me, even when I’ve tried to figure things out on my own. Right now, I’m in a season where I can’t afford to take a single step without You. I need Your direction in everything. Your word in Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” So I’m calling on You now. Speak to me, guide me, and help me make decisions that align with Your will. Close the wrong doors, open the right ones, and give me the wisdom to know the difference. I trust You to lead me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. -Psalm 118:5

Dear God, thank You for this day. Thank You for being with me as I figure out what to do next. Your word in Psalm 9:10 says, “Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.” God, I’m so grateful that I can trust You. I walk by faith, knowing that You know the right time, the right place, the right person, and the right answer to my prayers. Help me stay in Your will. If I’m really being honest, the scariest place to be is anywhere You’re not—so I’ll follow You through this situation. I won’t let go of Your hand. No matter how hard things have been, nothing will shake my faith. I trust You with everything. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” – Psalm 91:2
