A Prayer in Response to Deuteronomy 7:1-8:20

Hold on to His Word for all you're worth — because His Word is what proves God is trustworthy. And when you know God is trustworthy — you know today is worthy of joy & hope. 
- Ann Voskamp

God, your word is a rescue and a refuge for us. Thank you for telling us what is true about You and what is true about us. We want Your word to inform our thoughts, words and choices today. 

You tell us in Deuteronomy that we are a people holy to the Lord our God, chosen to be your people, your treasured possession. You have set your affection on us not because of our qualifications, but because of Your love and faithfulness.

We praise You for reminding us today that You are a great and awesome God and nothing is too difficult for You. You redeem us with a mighty hand and outstretched arm. You are faithful and keep your covenant of love to a thousand generations. We praise You that You are God our Sustainer. You led your people all the way through the wilderness, you fed them with manna and they learned that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. 

When we are mired in discouragement, frustration or distractions today, would You remind us that we have seen your faithfulness before and we will see it again. Would you give us eyes to see the manna of your faithful provision in our lives today? Would you give us ears to hear Your words of life spoken over us? We love you, Lord. Amen.
