PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for carrying me this far. A lot has happened in my life that could have led to my demise. But you are guarding and protecting me. Forgive me for losing sight of your care and focusing exclusively on the challenge of the moment. Help me to put things in perspective and to focus on trusting in Christ. Because of your grace I'm not going to let the circumstances drag me down. Amen.
