Dear Lord Jesus…Good morning Lord! There is no one like You. I come before You and exalt and lift up Your Name. You alone are righteous, holy, just, true, pure love, peace beyond comprehension, healer of all things, and my deliverer. The cares and concerns on my heart _________ (name them) melt away as I behold Your greatness. Your beauty cannot be measured and Your glory causes me to drop to my knees in awe.

He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don’t get tired,
they walk and don’t lag behind.
