Prayer
Jesus taught us to pray 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done' (Matthew 6:10), trusting that God's purpose is always better than our plans.
Father, You are the author of every story and the designer of every life. I confess I sometimes feel lost or uncertain about my direction, wondering if my life really matters. Show me how You are working through my ordinary days for Your extraordinary purposes. Help me trust Your timing and embrace the good works You've prepared for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
