We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

2 Corinthians 4:7 (New Living Translation)

 

~~~

 

Lord, I am glad that You know me

for who I am.

 

You are not impressed by

my job title

my skin color

my gender

my appearance.

 

Thank you for the times you exalted me

when I didn’t deserve it

and the times you humbled me

when I did deserve it.

 

Thank You for being the same

always

that I can count on You to be reliable and trustworthy

that your promises and precepts are true.

 

Thank you that you don’t expect perfection

just obedience.

 

I’m glad you know my limitations

and remind me at times of my humanity and frailty.

 

Thank you for being my potter

the weaver of the threads of my life

my power

my joy

my delight.

 

Thank you for being my strength when I am weak

my wealth when I am poor

my joy when I am sad

my courage when I am afraid

my understanding when I am confused.
