With every new day that I see O God, there is opportunity to follow more closely the path that leads to you. So often along the way though, I have stumbled and fell. Father I thank you and all those who have helped me to stand up again rather than condemn me; those who have reached out to pick me up rather than keep me down. Bless and strengthen me too today, that I will pick up those who have fallen instead of helping to bury them. And when my days are over O God, welcome me as you have done for so many others who stumbled but never gave up.
