Prayer
Jesus taught us to come boldly to our Father, as He invited in Matthew 6:9.
Father, You are the God who names and creates with purpose. I confess I often look to the world or my own feelings to define who I am, forgetting that You have already declared my worth. Help me to see myself through Your eyes — as Your image-bearer, Your handiwork, Your chosen child. Root my identity so deeply in You that nothing can shake it. In Jesus' name, Amen.
