Prayer for today (1/8/16)

Heavenly Father, teach me to trust you with all my heart. Help me not to depend on my own understanding. I know when I seek your guidance you will lead me on straight paths. I don't want to rely on my own wisdom, instead, I choose to respect your word. I will stay away from anything that pulls me from you. When I do all this, my heart will be at peace and anxiety will no longer steal my body's health. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
