When I was in my prime, God’s friendship was felt in my home.

“I thought, ‘Surely I will die surrounded by my family after a long, good life.

When they were discouraged, I smiled at them. My look of approval was precious to them.

For God has cut my bowstring. He has humbled me,

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman. 2For what has God above chosen for us? What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?

“Have I put my trust in money or felt secure because of my gold? 25Have I gloated about my wealth and all that I own?

Lord God my Father,

You own my heart, keep me under your protection. Help me to continue on this journey of releasing my desires and replace them with yours. Your plan is perfect and your Peace is all powerful. Help me to represent you well today and keep my judgement at bay. Your desire brings peace to myself and those around me, I just create stress. Continue on your journey of shaping me in your image in my spirit.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
