You got this... Did you know that you are totally capable of accomplishing this challenging task that you have been afforded? Yes afforded. This is an opportunity for you to see God at work in you! Don't run from it or resent that it has been assigned to you. You have been trusted with this responsibility because you have everything within you to achieve it. There is nothing wrong with asking questions for understanding. Tap into your resources. Take initiative to help yourself. Research. Document. Strategize. Share what you have with trusted advisors to make sure you are on track. Use those inner gifts that God gave you and get to work! Be confident in God, keep Him at the center, and prioritize your obedience to him; you will find great reward in doing so (Hebrews 10:35). Prayer Lord, thank you for what you have given us! We know that we are a marvelous work of your hands and that our capabilities come from you. Help us to be confident enough to walk boldly in the gifts that you have given us and to trust that you know exactly what you are doing. In Jesus' name. Amen

The Lord’s Prayer — The Blueprint Jesus Gave Us After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9–13 (KJV) Family… When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, He didn’t give them a complicated formula. He gave them a framework. A way to approach God that keeps prayer balanced, honest, and powerful. Let’s walk through it. “Our Father which art in heaven” Prayer begins with relationship. Jesus reminds us that God is Father. Not distant. Not unreachable. Not uninterested in your life. Kee translation: “God, I recognize who You are to me. You are my Father and I belong to You.” Prayer starts with connection, not requests. “Hallowed be thy name” This is reverence. Before asking God for anything, Jesus teaches us to honor His holiness. Kee translation: “God, You are holy. You are powerful. You deserve honor and respect.” Prayer begins with honor, not entitlement. “Thy kingdom come” This is alignment. We invite God’s kingdom to operate in our lives. Kee translation: “God, let Your authority and Your way of rule in my life.” Prayer shifts our focus from earthly thinking to kingdom thinking. “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” This is surrender. Instead of trying to control everything, we submit to God’s plan. Kee translation: “Lord, I want what You want for me Let YOUR WILL BE MY WAY.” Prayer moves from my plan → to God’s plan. “Give us this day our daily bread” Now we move into provision. Jesus teaches us to trust God day by day. Not next year’s bread. Not next month’s bread. Daily bread. Kee translation: “God, provide what I need today — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially.”
