Tips
When you pray these Scriptures, picture God doing the things these verses talk about. Imagine Him reaching down to grab hold of your hand when you’ve said something dumb. Or lifting you up on a rock to protect you when life is difficult. Or smiling at you as He flings out His arms and says, “Come here, you delightful child.”
As you picture God in these roles, my prayer is that you’ll feel treasured, cherished, and accepted by your Father who knows your every sin, yet still delights in you.
