Help us Lord when we are bombarded with Satan’s tactics. When our minds start to doubt what we know is truth and right. When we question if we are truly Yours. Lord remind us that we are Yours today and forever and nothing and no one can take us out of Your hands. In Jesus’ name we pray.

Heavenly Father You formed us perfectly in Your image, but we have de-formed ourselves by our sins. Forgive us Lord for our foolishness. In Jesus’ name we ask.

Thank You Father for choosing us, for adopting us into Your family. Thank You for grafting us in and calling us Your children.
