This journey is one step at a time. Freedom isn’t just a moment—it’s a daily walk. And You’re still walking—praise God. Don’t let yesterday stop you from showing up today.
Our Father (The Lord’s Prayer)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
A Psalm of Praise and Thanks
Psalm 34
Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing. Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry. But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all. He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
A Psalm for Mercy and Help
Psalm 17
May my vindication come from Your presence; may Your eyes see what is right.
You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.
As for the deeds of men—by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
My steps have held to Your paths; my feet have not slipped.
I call on You, O God, for You will answer me. Incline Your ear to me; hear my words.
Show the wonders of Your loving devotion, You who save by Your right hand those who seek refuge from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings
from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
They have closed their callous hearts; their mouths speak with arrogance.
They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,
like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
Arise, O LORD, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,
from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.
As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied in Your presence.
Brief Prayer
Lord, thank You that freedom in Christ is more than a moment—it is a journey.
Help me to walk each day in the liberty You provide.
Strengthen me to take one faithful step at a time.
Break the patterns that try to drag me back into bondage.
Fill me with courage to continue forward when I stumble.
Teach me to lean on Your Spirit for strength daily.
Let my life show the joy of walking in Your freedom.
Amen.
