ERN

 Saturday, July 4, 2026 (4:17 a.m.)

Holy God,

Thank You. For so many things.

(4:36 a.m.)

At this moment I’m especially grateful for the grace You provide.

(4:39 a.m.)

And just like that [SNAP!] I’m entering into one of the best “choose your own ending” books ever written. Your Word. Your Truth. Your promises.

Father, thank You!

I came here initially to thank You for the mistakes I’ve already made this morning. Completely brewing my half a cup of coffee without any water being the biggest so far.

Thank You for the different ways You would have us look at mistakes. Faux pas. Errors. Learning experiences. Springboards.

(5:06 a.m.)

Father God, You are freeing me from the stigma with which I was raised. Avoiding mistakes at all costs. Now I get to learn the benefits of making them!

Error-Related Negativity (ERN) signals our brains to pay attention. Remain alert. Adjust future behavior. Yes! Father, thank You for teaching me new responses to old patterns.

Another meaning of ERN involves You. Everyday Relationship Needs. With this approach we able to surrender to Your control. Seek Your guidance. And allow Your love to hold us through life’s unexpected turns (internet search overview).

Ephesians 3:14-21

♪Worthy of It All♪

(Romans 11:33-36)

(5:56 a.m.)

You never cease to amaze me Lord! 

Thank You for the various stages of color in the sky just now. Oranges. Blacks and whites. Then pinks. Gorgeous! Truly photo worthy.

Thank You for the joy that comes in appreciating the simplest things. Being able to thank You for the mistakes of yesterday and today. Asking (Matthew 7:7) that I learn valuable lessons from every single error I encounter.

(6:12 a.m.)

Father God, I love, need, trust and want to represent You well. Embracing and learning from each false step I may take.

You are good, great, glorious and gracious (Psalm 145:5-8). I want to resemble You. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
