Thank You, Jesus, For today. Thank You, for Your favor & grace.
Thank You for provision.
Thank You for Your patience & mercy towards me.
Thank You for being my very real, very present helper in all circumstance.
Thank You for encouraging me, uplifting me & carrying me through.
Thank You for all You’ve done & all You’re doing. I can’t understand it all but I know that You use all things for my good & Your glory. I trust that & I thank You.
Through my hardships, through the uncertainty & pain, You have been faithful through it all. I am undeserving.
I cannot imagine carrying on without You. I can’t go back. I’ve not yet mastered this new way of life with You. I need You, Lord.
I really can’t imagine how You’ll make this good, but then it’s not the first time I’ve underestimated You & learned a humbling lesson.
I really do not wish to rob myself of Your promise to me with doubt & fear. I can’t explain how I can know that You will & still manage stress on autopilot.
“If you always do, what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always go.” Or so Nani’s teacher used to say, no?
Thank You for not giving up on me even when I seem to give up. You know I have more in me to give to you, I just need more of You in me to help me through.
I can do none of this without You, I know that & yet I put so much pressure on myself to do things You’ve not asked me to.
This part of our adventure requires me to lay back, relax & allow You to handle it all.
For the first time in my life there is no demands, no string, no manipulations or expectation, nothing for me to do but allow You to be the Parent & act like Your child, but as it turns out, I don’t know how to be one, so even that You’ll have to teach me, Lord.
“Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.”
Psalms 115:1 NLT
