Prayer
Dear Lord, You have called me out of my old ways and into a new life with You. Teach me to live what I believe, not only in words but in daily choices. Strengthen me when I grow tired, guide me when I am unsure, and keep my heart fixed on what lasts forever. Let my life quietly reflect Your grace, so that in all things I may walk as Your child. Amen.
