Here is today's prayer:

"For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God's children. (Romans 8:16, NLT)"

No matter what happens to my family, Lord, Your Spirit has promised that I'm never alone. I'm always part of Your family, which may have members who get closer to my heart than some of my blood relatives. If I lost everyone You've given me--my parents, brothers, sisters, and my extended family--I'd never be alone. Thank You for caring so much for my heart that You bring me family members who love You, whether or not they're related by blood.

I'm glad to be part of Your family. Help me become a child You can be proud of, Lord. Amen.

From Prayers and Promises for the Graduate, pg. 17.
