I love you, Father. I love You, Lord Jesus. I love You, Holy Spirit. Thank You for giving me another day. I ask that You keep me grounded. You pulled me from the pit of my past and gifted me with compassion and discernment to help others struggling with similar issues. I have seen You at work in my life and in the lives that I touch. The temptation to think that I am doing the work is real. Remind me that the outcomes are Your doing and nothing I bring to the table. I make myself available to testify of the goodness You brought and continue to give me. You answer my prayers in Your timing. You bring the hurting into my path. Don’t let me forget that I was once where they are now, and I could easily be back in the pit without Your guidance and vigilance. With each new day, Lord, give me the correct reflection of who I am and who You are in me. I bring my prayer in Your precious and powerful name, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3 NKJV)
