Morning Prayer for Today – I Know You Love Me

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the gift of a new day.

I am weary and don’t know when this “race” will end in my life.

I feel like I’ve been running forever, trying to outrun this trial.

Help me stop trying to outrun my pain but run with endurance the race you have set before me.

I know that because of you, I am ultimately a victor over the trials in my life.

This morning I am reading from Romans 8:31-34:

If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

Romans 8:31-34

Nothing in this world can separate me from your steadfast love.

Please give me a measure of your love today; give me the strength to endure this trial.

Thank you for your love for me. It never ends!

And thank you for the crown of joy that awaits me forever.

Amen.
