Almighty Father, Creator of All, Savior, Lord!

Joy that fully trusts God fills my needy heart.
PEACE: I bless myself with an abundance of peace,
an appreciation of the awesome presence of God. You are here,
telling me that trouble is a temporary test.

I am released from relying on my own ideas. I calmly accept uncertainties
because Your wisdom teaches, reminds, and empowers me.

that is healing me, body and soul. Thank You for
giving me quiet times for restoration.
SELF-CONTROL: I bless myself with awareness of self-control,
the perfection of the touch of Your hand upon my heart.
Fear, stress, anger, confusion cannot stay in Your presence.
Lord, Your grace produces wonderful results, fruits of the Spirit.
By faith I declare myself completely blessed for today!
