Blessed Lord,

It’s another new month. Mm, but You are the same wonderful God. Thank You for the privilege of coming before You all through last night. Very early this morning I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to sleep, but You were here to hear my prayers on behalf of myself and others. Thank You God. Thank You that even though things around us change constantly, You do not.

You are the same. You stay the same. You are ♫Our God… who saves♫ Lord I can’t ever thank You enough for all the ways You save us from ourselves. Every single time I start down that road of not being or doing enough, here You are to remind me to ♫Hear the holy roar of God resound Watch the waters part before us now Come and see what He has done for us Tell the world of His great love Our God is a God who saves Our God is a God who saves♫

Oh Most Blessed and Beloved Lord, thank You that You ARE a God who saves! Having all the thoughts of things left undone in the month of May swirl around in my head at midnight, how comforting it was to be able to mentally sing ♫Let God arise Let God arise Our God reigns now and forever He reigns now and forever♫ See? Another brand new month, but the same wonderful God!

♫His enemies will run for sure The church will stand, she will endure He holds the keys of life, our Lord Death has no sting, no final word♫ Oh Dearest Lord, what freedom there is to be found in putting our hope, our trust, our faith in You. Help me, I pray, to bring the ridiculously high bar of best intentions I have set for myself down to a more accurate bar of reality concerning my current ability.

I love You Lord. You have allowed me such grace and time to grow into a much more realistic understanding of who I am and of what I am truly capable. Thank You Lord. I look to You to set my level of excellence. My unrealistic way of expecting too much from myself is not serving me well at all, but that does not mean that I want to shirk all responsibility. Help me be reasonable in setting and achieving the goals YOU would have me set. Let me continue to look to You. After all, You ARE ♫… a God who saves♫

I love You so much Dear Lord. Thank You. Amen.
