This month has not been an easy one for me. I’ll admit it. There are days when it has been downright difficult to be the best version of “me”. I’ve been cranky and irritable and hard to get along with at times. And I believe that the reason is quite simple. Satan knows that, by embarking on the journey of this challenge, I was going to be forced to look deep within myself and answer some tough questions.
By examining myself as a wife, mother, and daughter, I’ve realized that there are areas needing improvement. My family deserves the best from me. Unfortunately, I can’t give them my best without some help from above. On my own, I fail….over and over. But with deliberate prayer and guidance from my Father, I will hopefully one day be someone that he can be proud to call “daughter”.
Lord, please provide me with the determination and the patience that this challenge requires of me. I know that by being willing to look more deeply into your word and then apply it to my own life, I can only benefit. Lord, I ask that you stand by my side as my protector and defender against the evil one who would turn my focus from you. Do not let him steal my thoughts and attention from you. You are the only one worthy. I ask all of these things in the name of your Holy Son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross to make it possible that I might one day see your glorious face. Amen.
