Dear Lord,
Today I’m asking You to open heaven over my life. Meet me in every area — spiritually, emotionally, financially, relationally. Break every old cycle that no longer fits where You’re taking me, and help me trust that You’re doing something new, even now. I believe You see me, You know me, and You have me in mind.
