Confident Faces - Psalm 34:5

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. (Psalms 34:5)

Dear Father,

I pray that these children hold their heads high in confidence. Not arrogance, but confidence that you are with them in their walk. Confidence that their lives mean something because of you and your plan for them. Confidence that they are loved by you. Confidence that Jesus has paid the price for their shortcomings and failures such that they stand before you as victors. Confidence that with the Gospel, they hold the most valuable possession there is and that they can give it away many times over and yet still possess it themselves. Confidence that by the power of your Spirit living within them, they can change the world - one person at a time. Confidence that by giving their lives to you, they will gain life to the full. And confidence that in living life for you they will never be put to shame.

Amen
