Keep Me from Temptation
God, I need Your presence every passing hour. There’s nothing but Your grace that can keep me from temptation. Guide me. Stay by me. Through good days and bad ones, let me feel You with me always.
Thanks to God
Dear God, I have been remiss. I have not taken the time to say thank You. I praise You as an afterthought. Forgive me for pestering You with selfish requests. And now, this moment is Yours. First and foremost I declare: You are an almighty God, Maker of wonders, Provider of miracles. Love eternal.
Yours, Oh God!
Yours, Oh God, is the greatness, the strength, and the glory, triumph, and splendor. For everything that was, is, and will be, is Yours.
