Dear Lord Jesus...I start this day confident in Your love for me! I am so grateful for the healing You have already brought to my heart, emotions, and thought life. Your Word is continually cleansing me as I let it wash over my life and the Holy Spirit continues to break lies I once believed about myself as I invite Him to pull on the vines of my hang-ups, hurts, and unhealthy behaviors. I pray today to walk in the fruit of your patience, stop critical thinking, and focus entirely on Your love upon those around me. In your Superlative Name, Lord Jesus. Amen!

Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
