So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

We may be hard pressed on every side in this world, but not crushed, because we know that everything is under your control. Let us not lose hope, O God, but keep standing strong in faith fixing our eyes on Jesus , I pray in his Holy Name. Amen

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way

The Lord establishes their steps

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

He rewards those who earnestly seek him

​​And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 Father in heaven, I thank you for the privilege of prayer, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to know you and love you. Help me walk by faith daily and seek you with all my heart, help me remember that you always have something better in store for us and will only give us what is best for us, O Lord. May my actions be pleasing unto you today, strengthen my faith, bless me, walk beside me and guard my steps, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
