Abba,

I know that today will have it’s own hardships and challenges. In all honesty, I fear them. I dread them. But even as You, Jesus, did not shy away or avoid them, neither shall I. I humbly and graciously submit myself to whatever suffering or hardship may come today. I plead your grace to see me through, for the glory of your name, for my joy in you, and for the work of your will.
