Father, I desire a closer walk with You. Please help me to draw near to You each day and to listen to Your voice. Teach me to trust You more and to rely on Your strength. Remove anything in my life that hinders my relationship with You, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. May I grow in faith, love, and obedience to You, and may my heart always seek to please You. Thank You for the privilege of knowing You, and for Your faithfulness. Amen.
