Hello friend, Bob Perry here. There are moments when we wake up burdened by thoughts of the day ahead, feeling as if everything is working against us.

In these times, fear and fatigue can take hold, leaving us drained and lacking the motivation to keep pushing forward. Whether it's relational conflicts that strain our connections with loved ones, the weight of financial pressures that loom over us, or the challenges posed by a health crisis, these issues can create an overwhelming sense of despair.

It's important to remember that it's okay to feel this way and that we're not alone in confronting these struggles. But you can find encouragement that we are part of a community praying as you face all sorts of trials, hardships, and challenges.

Our collective prayers are a source of support and encouragement, reinforcing our shared faith and belief in a brighter future. Friend, this season, we all can find comfort and strength in the undeniable truth that our voices join a vast chorus of believers worldwide and throughout history. As we enter into prayer, we stand united in the powerful words that Jesus taught us,

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours

now and forever.

Heavenly Father, we come before you with gratitude, acknowledging you as Jireh, our Provider, who fulfills every need we have. Thank you for infusing us with your strength, empowering us to rise above the trials and tribulations we encounter.

Papa God, we are thankful that you do not scold us for our worries about finances, cash flow, or the uncertainties. You see us as your beloved children, consistently watching over us with tender care.

Please transform our anxieties into a deep sense of peace that calms our hearts and minds. Lift us up, freeing us from the burdens of shame and condemnation that weigh us down.

We wholeheartedly trust you, confident that you are the wellspring of all we need.

Wrap us in your warm and comforting embrace, reassuring us that we are never alone.

Even amid life's storms, where chaos seems to reign, we find solace in you—our steadfast Protector, generous Provider, compassionate Healer, and faithful Restorer.

Be our Strong Tower, grounding us in your unwavering love and strength.

In your loving name, Amen.
