Prayer
As Jesus said, 'Ask, and it will be given to you' (Matthew 7:7).
Father, thank you that I am not an accident or a cosmic coincidence. You formed me and knew me before I was born, and you have a plan and purpose for my life. Help me to trust that your plans for me are good, to live with that hope, and to seek out the works you have prepared for me. Give me the courage to follow where you lead. In Jesus' name, Amen.
