You Uphold My Life

A prayer about God’s keeping power

Circa 1888 painting by Benjamin Williams Leader titled 'An Old Worcester Farm, An October Day After Rain'

My gracious God and Father, you who uphold my life by your almighty power, keep me through all that this day brings — sorrows and joys, challenges and opportunities, disappointments and blessings — that in every circumstance, I may rest in your unfailing love. I pray this in the strong name of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
