Prayer for today (4/9/16)

Heavenly Father, it is such a wonderful feeling to know that your grace and mercy is always looking out for me. I don't know what I would do without your patience and love. Help me to love and obey you. Show me how to enhance your kingdom for your will and glory in the name of Jesus. Amen.
