I receive wisdom to make decisions that come my way each day. I am empowered with strength to resist temptation and overcome. I gain an understanding of the purpose behind tests and trials and find peace in Your sovereignty. I exchange fear for hope, and my heart is filled with confidence in Your goodness. My inner being is transformed for the better, reflecting Your character and love. I come to know You more intimately, and my faith is bolstered to trust and believe in Your promises. “How beneficial it is to draw near to You, Lord, for in Your presence, I grow and flourish.” Colossians 1:10 by Ligyi Venegas-Johnson
