A Prayer When You Step Out of the Boat and the Waves Begin to Swell

Lord, I clearly heard You say, “Come! Step out of the boat.” And I did. I stepped out because I know that I know I can trust You. You, Lord, are faithful and true.

You are my Abba, Father — my Daddy God — who would never cause me harm. You pursue me with Your love. Your goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.

A Prayer When You Need to Hear Songs of Deliverance

Lord, You are precious to me in all Your ways — You do all things well. Every detail of my life is filled with morsels of Your goodness — a feast of mercy and grace for all those who trust in You.

Not only do You promise to surround us with songs of deliverance — You promise to sing over us as You rejoice in us. You proclaim that You are our song in the night!
