*Dear God, thank You so much for another day. Thank You for being a good Father. You’re not distant or cold, but present and personal. You care about my needs, my struggles, and even my mistakes. Just like Jesus taught in Matthew 6, help me come to You with humility and honesty. Teach me to trust Your will, to rely on You each day, and to forgive like I’ve been forgiven. I know I won’t get everything right, but I’m so grateful that I don’t have to be perfect to be loved by You. Thank You for inviting me into a real relationship, not based on how good I can be, but on Your grace. Help me grow closer to You, not just with my words, but with my heart. Thank You for always listening when I pray and for being close to me, even when I feel weak. Thank You for everything. You’re a good Father, that’s who You are. In Jesus’ name, Amen* . *Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. -Matthew 6:9-10*
