     Gracious Heavenly Father, we take delight and come before You this morning with a thankful heart.
     Lord, we thank You for strengthening us by Your Spirit to focus on You, meditate on Your Word and to fix our eyes on Your Son Jesus. 
     Lord, thank You for Your promise that we will be like trees planted by the water; our roots spread by the river, and we will not fear the drought.
     Lord, we commend our family into Your divine care. Help us to be a worthy witness of Your loving-kindness and great love upon our family. Let our children  delight in You and Your Word.  
     Lord, we intercede for the children who go through difficult situations due to instability in their families. Let peace prevail upon them as they struggle to cope with their studies amidst their family challenges.
     Lord, let Your presence be with them and encourage them to trust in You to move forward. Be their Counsellor and their Guide.
     Lord, we trust in You. Let our leaves still be green and bear fruit in the midst of any struggles that we may face. May we be firm in this belief.
     In Jesus'  name we pray, Amen.

Today's promise:
"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord ...He is like a tree planted by water, ..its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and ....it does not cease to bear fruit." Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬8
