Me:\u00a0 What a beautiful garden!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, that is what I was thinking.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 What should we do?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Let’s pray!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Father in heaven,<\/p>\n

I thank You for breath this day to give You praise.<\/p>\n

I thank You for a life where nothing is wasted,<\/p>\n

a life where pain turns into purpose and Your providence<\/p>\n

assigns a personal destiny.<\/p>\n

You will never allow anything in my path<\/p>\n

that cannot bring You glory or me and those around me good.<\/p>\n

No matter what this day holds,<\/p>\n

I am clothed with strength to overcome every obstacle and all oppression<\/p>\n

because I belong to Jesus Christ, and His Spirit lives with me.<\/p>\n

You, Lord, are my security.<\/p>\n

No one and nothing can take You from me.<\/p>\n

You will keep my foot from being caught in a trap.<\/p>\n

I choose to turn my back on fear because You are right here with me.<\/p>\n

I can smile over the days to come because Your plan for me<\/p>\n

is good and right.<\/p>\n

My heart is steadfast, trusting in You, Lord.<\/p>\n

In the end, I will look in triumph on my foes.<\/p>\n

Because of You,<\/p>\n

I am secure.<\/p>\n

In Jesus’s triumphant name,<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD:\u00a0 will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it:\u00a0 and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 5:22<\/p>\n
