Father, in the morning I seek You with my whole heart. I don’t 

want to live halfhearted today. I want to be all in — fully 

engaged and totally sold out. 

Fill me today so I will be full 

of You. Amen.

Thoughtful prayer for today:

For the ones who are weary today, Lord, be their strength. 

For the ones who are fearful today, Lord, be their shield. 

For the ones who are unsure today, Lord, be their Rock. 

You are all we need and You are enough. Amen.
