“Father, may You be glorified…” 

“Father, may Your will be done…” 

“Father, may I stay focused on You and Your will…” 

“Father, help me to have resilient faith…”

“Father, may more people see You in Your greatness…” 

“Father, may I be a faithful child that draws people to You…” 

“Father, thank You for being a good Father…” 

No matter what has happened this week or will happen in the coming weeks. Remember: He’s still a good Father, a loving Father, a gracious Father, a compassionate Father, and a personal Father (i.e., not just someone else’s Father. He’s my Father). King Jesus still reigns. His rule is everlasting. 

As a healthy reminder, read Psalms 46.

Psalm 46 (NKJV):

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song For Alamoth. 

¹God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 

²Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 

³Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah 

⁴There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 

⁵God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 

⁶The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. 

⁷The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah 

⁸Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 

⁹He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. 

¹⁰Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! 

¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
