As we enter into this time of prayer, let us spend time today praising and acknowledging Him as Sovereign LORD over all.

Praise…
Read the following Scripture and spend time praising God…

as head over all.” • 1 Chronicles 29:11

Confession…
Read the Scripture and allow God to search your heart and mind…
“Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that
He will not hear you.” • Isaiah 59:1-2

Thanksgiving…
Read the Scripture and spend time thanking God for all He is doing in your life…

and consider all Your mighty deeds.” • Psalm 77:11-12
