This morning, before I even get out of bed, I will speak this morning mantra over my heart. I call it my Gospel Affirmation, because if you’re going to speak something over yourself every day it might as well be the truth of the Gospel, right? Let’s start our days focused on Christ, not ourselves.
I don’t really need to remember who I am. I need to remember the Great I AM.
I AM SURRENDERED.
I am weak. Lord, You are strong.
I have questions. You have the answers.
I will make mistakes. You make beauty from ashes.
I am broken. You specialize in restoration.
I will fall. You will uphold me with Your Mighty Right Hand.
I will rejoice, because You made this day.
I will work at my calling with all my heart as if I’m working just for You.
I will let my light shine, pointing others to the light of Christ.
I will offer grace, because You gave grace to me.
I will love, because You first loved me.
I will forgive, because You are forgiving.
I will not fear, because You are faithful.
Today, I might fail, but I’m on the winning team. I surrender my hopes, dreams, pains, needs and victories to Your Sovereign hand. Make me useful to Your Kingdom today, O Lord, and may this day in my life bring glory to You.”
Bring heaven into the ordinary moments of your day.

I appreciate this post so much. I honestly try to pray right when I say that I am praying because I know I am likely to forget. I have also found that I like typing out a prayer in the Facebook response. Often it has long and only a few words show up when someone is scrolling. But I do think it is comforting to the original poster to know that someone actually prayed and has words for what they are going through. I also realize that for people who may just be posting the word that they are praying, if they are reading my prayer, it can be there pair too.
Ella Herlihy can I say that you are absolutely soft on. I read your prayer and have got great comfort for it. My son is being bullied and I needed to hear this today. God bless you
9/29 marks 14 years since my 1st miscarriage and 2/14 will be 6 years for my 2nd miscarriage. How different my life would be with 3 kiddos? I’m grateful for our 1 kiddo, I tease him he was our 1 good egg. He has brought us so much joy. I try to take comfort that we had 1 kiddo but sometimes the sadness bubbles up.
