You, Lord, are a wonder, too good to be true–but are actually even better than that!

I thank you so much, Heavenly Father, for the privilege of not just being in your family, but of being able to come, at any minute, directly to you in the throne room of Heaven And when necessary to crawl up in your lap for comfort, encouragement and redirection.

Help us to live in the light of your great goodness, your rich righteousness, your lavish love and your powerful presence. Help us to join you today in your plans,.

Help us to shed our pride, our selfishness, our lust for significance and security, and instead to find rest in you alone, humbly bowing before you in the fear of God, joyfully accepting all you will bring in your plan for us.

Help us to consistently move by prayer, to persistently work through obedience and to joyfully overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit so that you may be honored throughout this day.

And help us to live in the truth that knowing Jesus is enough for joy, giving thanks in all and living in the light of your goodness. Thank you that you will!
