This comes from reading Matthew, chapter 4:
Loving God, there are times when I am at my weakest and I am tempted to take care of myself and my needs. I sometimes give in to doubt, to taking care of those needs, and do not turn to You as I should. The example of Jesus is the one I should follow, He who surrendered to You in prayer and faith; I should do the same, seeking nourishment, stronger faith, and self-control in You and Your word.
I do trust You and what You offer, to care for me and my loved ones. I do believe You protect me. I also believe You invite me to worship and serve You.
I do want to be one who reflects the great light You have shone on me and my situation and life.
I do want to repent and believe in Your kingdom, here among us now. Let me be Your disciple who serves alongside You in whatever the needs are of those around me. I pray for healing, deliverance, strength, joy, and peace to all who seek it, and let me be a part of that healing and wholeness You offer to all.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
