Dear God, thank You for this new day and for Your Word that reminds me You’ve been faithful generation after generation. Your Word in Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God Who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who Love Him and keep His commandments.” God, You were faithful even in my darkest moments, even when I questioned how many breaths I had left. As I step into this day, bless me with strength, peace, and everything I need to keep going. Remind me that You’re greater than all of my problems and that You’re with me wherever I go. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
