Heavenly Father, the journey may be long and difficult, but we know we are never alone. It is you who is beside us, always. You help us to stand proud, walk boldly, and live our faith each day. Though we may not know your plans for us, we know this one asbolute: your love. We thank you for keeping us strong and focused…resolute and confident. We thank you for these blessings, in Jesus’ name, amen.
