Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope I have each day I wake up. Thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who gives me hope and encouragement from one day to the next as I meditate on Your goodness here on the bus. He never gave up on me when He took the cross for my sake. He endured so much suffering, hardship, and even physical pain so that He could redeem me back into Your loving arms. Father, I will not give up in this race of faith, no matter what life brings me. I know that I will be able to face all challenges as I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Thank You for today. It is another wonderful gift that I open. Thank You for all the challenges I will face today, which are opportunities for me to grow more in strength, faith, and character in Christ Jesus. Amen.
