Father,

We praise You for Your Word that instructs us.  Thank You for showing us that we need to have an active faith.  While we don’t always understand Your answers to our prayers, we trust that You have our best interests at heart.  Help us to abide and obey Your commandments, and to teach them to our children and grandchildren, that we may receive Your blessings.  Remind us to choose faith and abandon worry, releasing all our cares to You.  We claim Your promise that Your peace will guard our minds in Christ Jesus.  Continue to teach us, Father, as we grow in Christ each day.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen
