[SPEAKER_00]: You created me to be loved by you, and to love you in return. [SPEAKER_00]: Your word says, we love because you first loved us. [SPEAKER_00]: Fill me a fresh with your love right now. [SPEAKER_00]: Wash away the lies that say I need to earn your affection. [SPEAKER_00]: Help me receive your love as the foundation of my day, so I can love others from a place of overflow. [SPEAKER_00]: Take a few deep breaths to receive the love God wants to give you.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank Him for His never-ending love. [SPEAKER_00]: Father, renew my mind. [SPEAKER_00]: Your word says not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of my mind.

[SPEAKER_00]: Holy Spirit, teach me to listen for your voice in the stillness. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, that my words don't need to be perfect. [SPEAKER_00]: All I need is an open heart. [SPEAKER_00]: Now pause, take a deep breath, and share with God what's on your heart right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: God, thank you for the freedom that comes from being with you. [SPEAKER_00]: Chains fall, strongholds break, peace replaces fear, and your purpose becomes clear. [SPEAKER_00]: Help me build my life on the rhythm of retreating into your presence, and walking into the world renewed. [SPEAKER_00]: Lord, let my days begin with you. [SPEAKER_00]: Let your nearness be my treasure. [SPEAKER_00]: Your love, my strength, and your voice, my guide.

[SPEAKER_00]: I surrender my life again into your hands. [SPEAKER_00]: Draw me close, Father, and to let my time alone with you, bear fruit that glorifies your name. [SPEAKER_00]: In Jesus' name, amen.
