—Isaiah 26:3
Lord, as I wake today, I place every wandering thought in Your hands. Quiet the noise within me, and fix my attention on what is eternal. Let me not be swayed by the things I cannot control.

Without love, my efforts fall short and my words lose their weight.
“Do everything in love.”
—1 Corinthians 16:14

Father, illuminate the path ahead. I don’t need to see the entire journey just the next step. Give me discernment when choices arise and clarity where confusion reigns.
