Today’s Prayer 7/18

Perfect Provider, my holy God, on bended knee I bow before Your sovereignty with trust and submission. Be the source for Your child. When my needs are unmet, causing my soul distress, I will seek You out because You are my supplier of all things good. Grant me strength in weakness, joy in the midst of much suffering, understanding in the midst of chaos, and love that overpowers the trials in life.
