Holy and Faithful God,

Your Word calls me to “love the LORD your God and keep His requirements, His decrees, His laws, and His commands always.” Lord, teach me to love You not only with my words, but through the way I live each day. Help me to walk faithfully, to obey You with joy, and to honour You in everything I do.

I thank You for Your promise that “physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things—holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” Shape my heart in godliness, strengthen my spirit in holiness, and let my life reflect the eternal hope I have in Christ. Help me grow daily in love, discipline, and spiritual strength.

And I pray with the psalmist: “Surely, LORD, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favour as with a shield.” Surround me, Lord, with Your favour. Place Your shield around my life, my family, my home, and my ministry. Protect me, guide me, and let Your blessing rest upon every step I take today.

Lead me in Your love, fill me with Your Spirit, and keep me close to Your heart.
Amen.

​I wish you a blessed day,
With Love,
Rev. Frank
