Dear Papa,
I praise You for Your strength, grit, and tenacity.
You never lose. You never give up.
You are the Life-Giving Breath in every living thing.
In You, I live and move and have my being.
You are my bounce-back power.
My backbone. My bravery.
Courage. Purpose. Steadfastness.
Make my spirit buoyant, like a lighthouse on the water.
Make my soul rebound with joy at the arrows of the enemy.
Make me Lion-hearted,
stubborn with fearless obedience.
When I feel like breaking, be my flexibility.
Bend, shape, squeeze me into Your image.
Oh that I would respond to Your voice in faithfulness.
Oh that my eyes would be fixed on Your greatness.
Be my Resolution. My Revelation. My Rejuvenation.
Make me resilient.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
