Heavenly Father, too often I define my worth by what I can get done. What I check off my to do list. I compare myself to others so that I might feel better about myself. But Lord, when I do that, I view worth and my life through the lens of comparison. I use accomplishments …
Heavenly Father, there are few sweeter words than “I’m Home.” Forgive me, Father, when I leave Your home for my own selfish desires. Help me to be content in Your house and not search out worldly things to fill the sad or lonely places. Let me remember that You never leave me nor do You …
Heavenly Father, keep me humble. Keep me focused on my true identity as a child of God. Let me see with your eyes. Let me war for the things You have called me to fight. Remove any confusion from my heart and mind and any motive that isn’t from you. Stir in me the warrior …
