[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Philippians 2:13 (Amplified Bible)
~~~
Thank you, Lord, that you are at work in me
to break old habits
eliminate bad patterns of thought and action.
flush away my anxieties
remove my resentments
untangle all the snarls in my soul
banish my guilt.
Thank you for the people in my life who cause and encourage me to grow
most doing it unknowingly.
Today I am feeling especially grateful that You are longsuffering with me
that I can come to You every day
every time I mess up
and You never sigh in frustration,
“Oh, no, it’s Doris again. When will she ever get her act together?”
Thank You that, for my sake
You are mighty in power and wisdom
and full of understanding and longsuffering.
