Heavenly Father, I magnify your name. I thank you because your steadfast love endures forever. You are righteous, holy, and your Kingdom knows no end! I thank you, Lord, that my name is written on the palm of your hand, and that you know all of my days before a single one comes to pass, according to your word in Psalm 139:16.
I know that you are a good Father faithful father, and that everything you allow to happen to me in this life is to strengthen me and make me more like Christ. I thank you that bad news to me isn’t bad news to you! I thank you that although I may be caught off guard by what is happening in my life, you never are.
Please show me your perspective of my circumstances, so that I can see them the way you do. I know that I will not understand everything about what is going on, and perhaps I’m not supposed to. But I do know this, that your Holy Spirit is with me, and that He comforts me, fills me with hope, and surrounds me with your love. I thank you for never leaving me to deal with bad news by myself. Thank you for always walking through the deep places with me. May the way I live my life bring you glory and honor and praise.
In Jesus’ precious name I pray, amen.
