As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Dear Lord,
Today, help me not miss the good because I’m busy studying what went wrong. Put my eyes back on what’s still possible. Let me enjoy the little wins without acting like they don’t count. Send something this week that makes me pause and say, “Okay God, I see You.” And when it happens, don’t let me be so distracted by it that I forget to thank You. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏽
Dear Lord,
Today, my patience been ugly lately. I’ve been side-eyeing everybody else’s blessings trying not to ask what’s taking so long with mine. Fix my attitude before disappointment turns into bitterness. And stop me from making rushed decisions just because I’m tired of waiting. I won’t be in this place forever. I prophesy that one morning, everything gone start moving at once for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord,
Today, before I crash out over people, stress, bills, fake love, unanswered texts, and everything hitting me at once… calm me first. Don’t let one bad moment make me ruin something You’ve been building in my life. Help me respond with wisdom, not emotion. And please… protect my mind today. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏽
