We are all in need of the Father who extends His hand to us. To pray to Him, to invoke Him, is not an illusion. Illusion is to think we can do without Him! Prayer is the soul of hope.

Much is said about #power, whether in global geopolitics or daily interpersonal or family dynamics, and what it is to be a strong woman, man, or leader. THIS is what it is truly about:

Be humble. You may be wrong.
Be kind. You may be remembered.
Be hard working. You may be luckier.
Be trustworthy. You may see further.
Be generous. Others may reciprocate.
Be curious. You may stay teachable.
Be forgiving. You may feel lighter.
Be yourself. You will be happier.
"I am grateful, Father, that You have given me hope for the future. Thank You that each day is a new beginning, and I don't have to be controlled by my past any longer. I can receive Your mercy and believe for good things each new day. In Jesus' name, Amen!" #PrayerOfThanks
“I will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall be clean...I will give you a #NewHeart and put a #NewSpirit within you; I will take the #HeartOfStone out of your flesh and give you a #HeartOfFlesh” Eze36:25-26
