Lord God my Father,

You are the answer to all things, Thank you for making it so simple, keep me from overthinking your plan. Help me to know when temptation is before me and give me strength to avoid it. Give me discernment over the darkness so popular, keep me from joining the crowd but to keep my focus on you. Help me believe, really believe.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
