Daily Prayer
Almighty God of Wisdom, God of Love, I pray that I have Your heart. God, you have made me for a purpose. I am Your workmanship. May I keep my eyes on Jesus. May I fully love You. May I not find attractive things that would steal my devotion to You.
With all my heart, with all my mind, with all my strength, I love You.
Amen
