Give us the insight to manage the problems we may face and the strength to conquer challenges with faith and courage.
Father, we commit this new month to You. Let Your light shine through us in every situation, and let Your serenity reside in our hearts. Help us to be a blessing to others and to live each day with thankfulness and purpose.
We ask for protection over our families, our homes, and our communities. Shield us from harm and guide us in Your righteousness.
