Day 274

from Saint Patrick’s Breastplate

God,

I bind unto myself today

The Three in One, the One in Three.

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I bind unto myself today.

Amen.

Day 271

God,
I know that without You, I am nothing.
All of my love; All of my strength, All of my heart;
All that is good; All that is broken; All that I am.
You know me and I am Yours.

I know that with You, I can overcome any challenge.
I have Your protection; I have Your strength;
I have Your victory; I have Your salvation.

I am blessed with the Full Armor of my Almighty God.
Amen.

Day 270

God,

Help me to celebrate my challenges;

knowing that a challenge brings about perseverance;

and perseverance, proven character;

and proven character, hope; 

and hope does not disappoint.

God, Thank You for being the source of my hope.

Amen.

Day 269

God,

Thank You for the countless times I have been in Your Presence and been blessed with Your Grace;

the support of my family, I feel Your Love,

the advice from a good friend, I receive Your Guidance,

the helping hand from a neighbor, I see Your Strength,

the act of kindness from a stranger, I know Your Spirit.

Continue to bless me, so that my thoughts, words and actions are a small part but meaningful part of Your Grace for someone else.

Amen.

Day 268

God,
As I kneel before You and bow my head in prayer,
My heart is filled with overwhelming gratitude.
Thank You for your infinite love.
Thank You for the blessing of my wonderful wife,
- my amazing children,
- my mother and father,
- my brothers and sisters,
- my friends.
Thank You for receiving and answering my prayers,
- may we be safe,
- may we be healthy,
- may we be happy,
- may we live in peace.
Amen.

Day 267

Heavenly Father, thank You for all You have done.
Thank You, Lord, for being with me and allowing me to cry out to You in times of need.
Be with me daily Lord, guide me and protect me.
Give me strength to persevere and overcome the obstacles in my life.

Amen.
