When I look back over my life—what I’ve been through, where I’ve been, and the things I’ve done—I can’t help but say: Thank You, God.
So many of us rarely pause to be truly grateful. Yes, it’s okay to desire more, to grow, to stretch into greater. But we must never discount the journey it took to get to where we are today.
🙏🏽 This is My Prayer…
Thank You, Jesus, for being a brother like no other. You gave Your life so I could truly live.
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being my constant guide and counselor—even when I tried to tune You out. You never left. You were patient, consistent, and always speaking truth in love.
Thank You, God, for the way You’re so intentional in every detail of my life. For Your compassion, Your grace, and Your new mercies each day.
You let me stumble, but You also lift me up. You bandage my wounds and pour love into them so they heal fully. With every challenge I overcome, You reset me—restoring me back to Your original design.
You sustain me in my weakness. You are my Abba—my provider, my protector, my source. You called me, You designed me for Your purpose, and You will fulfill it.
You are my past, my present, and my future. I’m in awe that You call me Beloved.
Amen.
