I arise today through a mighty strength
The strength of the trinity
A strength that guides me
A strength that encourages me
Lord, You are above me
You are within me
You are before me
You are below me
I go in peace
I see an increase
Going the positive way
Filling the mind with calm today
Remembering peaceful experiences
Memorizing scripture with seriousness
Having a daily time of prayer
Listening for instructions with care
