Favorite Bible Verse

I have loved this verse for a few years now. I find it challenging and encouraging my direction of purpose as God's daughter:

James 1:27
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

I have also recently read Beth Moore's new book: So Long Insecurity and she has this prayer in it that I read daily and wanted to share:

My Father in Heaven,
I thank You for breath this day to give You praise.
I thank You for a life where nothing is wasted,
a life where pain turns into purpose and Your providence assigns a personal destiny.
You will never allow anything in my path that cannot bring You glory or me and those around me good.
No matter what this day hold, I am clothes with strength and dignity.
I have divine strength to overcome every obstacle and all oppression because I belong to Jesus Christ, and His spirit lives within me.
You, Lord, are my security.
No one and nothing can take You from me.
You will keep my foot from being caught in a trap.
I choose to turn my back on fear because You are right here with me.
I can smile over the days to come because Your plan for me is good and right.
My heart is steadfast, trusting in You, Lord.
In the end, I will look in triumph on my foes.
Because of You,
I, __(insert your name)____, am Secure.
In Jesus' triumphant name,
Amen

Blessings to each of you this day!
