My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices because You O God have blessed your struggling servant with the gift of another day. Thank you Father for the great things you have done for me, for choosing me, for calling me by name even before I was born, for knitting me together in my mother’s womb, and for walking with me on this life’s journey. Strengthen my faith today Father, that I may not walk in the crowd of the conceited, nor sit with those who look down on the poor and afflicted. Give me today the courage to answer your call to be a bearer of good news, a source of light, and a witness to your unfailing love. Not my will O God, but yours.
