In the beginning, You spoke light into my darkness.

You are the Great I AM, the God who holds my life.

I come now to Your altar, laying down every heavy burden.

I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing.

Your mercies are new for me every single morning.

I am rooted and grounded deeply in Your infinite love.

I lie down in the green pastures of Your perfect peace.

Beside the still waters, You gently restore my soul.

I will not fear, for I know You are always with me.

Your rod and Your staff bring comfort to my heart.

I take Your yoke upon me, for it is easy and kind.

Your burden is light, and in You, I find true rest.

My mind is stayed on You, kept in perfect stillness.

I am being renewed in the very spirit of my mind.

You have not given me a spirit of fear or trembling.

But You have given me power, love, and a sound mind.

When I am weak, Your strength is made perfect in me.

I mount up with wings like an eagle today.

I run and do not grow weary in Your abundant grace.

I walk and do not faint, held by Your righteous hand.

Your peace, which passes understanding, guards my heart.

I am hidden in the secret place of the Most High.

Under Your wings, I find my refuge and my trust.

I am the branch, and You are the Vine that feeds me.

Apart from You, I know I can do nothing at all.

Your Word is a lamp that lights my every step.

I am a new creation; the old has passed away.

Your joy is my strength in this very moment.

I rest completely in the finished work of the cross.

I seal these words in the name and blood of Jesus.
