[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

The people who love you most will push you, not just praise you.

Praise feels good but it doesn't always make you better. The people who truly love you will celebrate your wins and still look you in the eye and say you're not done yet.
Find those people and don't let them go.

May my life reflect the gratitude I feel, and may I always remember to give thanks in all circumstances. I love you God and give this day back to you with thanksgiving!

Dear God!

Good morning! What a blessing…to wake up and get to live today! Today, I want to thank you God. I want to thank you for the blessings of the faithfulness you have extended to me moment by moment, day by day, year by year over the course of my life. I look back and see your hand of provision touching every aspect of my life. You are good always and today I want to say with an overwhelming heart of gratitude how thankful I am! Thank you for loving me, loving my family, loving those that I love, and loving me so much you never give up on me. Help me to stay anchored to the cross and see the world through my relationship with Jesus. As I see the world around me in that way, may your love be embodied in all that I say and do. God, all that I am, I thank you! Continue to do whatever you need to do for me to be completely dependent on you! I trust you, I love you, and I give it all to you with thanksgiving!

Dear God,

Good morning Father! Even calling you “Father” calms me and gives me peace as I enter today! On this day, empower me to rise above any excuses that exist inside of me, lead me through any obstacles, guide me on my unique path that’s before me, quiet the voices of doubt within me, and shower me with encouragement from those I trust and those that love me! Help me to let go of anything I’ve been holding onto, give me strength to endure, and grant me the energy to stay focused on the all parts of my journey. This is your story being written through me. Help me to trust you more and more!

Amen 🙏

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements.”

Dear God,

Good morning! What a day to be alive! Thank you for a new day. New opportunity. New possibilities. I claim that you are at work and growing up a new thing, a new season, a fresh season is coming. You are working. So I want to say thank you with everything I am, that it is so by the authority of Jesus Christ, the One that was, and is, and is to come, I receive it by faith! Thank you God!

In Jesus Name,
Amen 🙏

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

- Isaiah 43:19

[TreVeyon Henderson @TreVeyonH4]

Walking with Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easier life, it doesn’t guarantee that things would always go our way. Sometimes God may send us into a storm, sometimes He may lead us into a valley. But it’s in those moment where we learn to trust Him and we learn to surrender, which isn’t easy. It’s in those moments where we can see how weak we are without Jesus and how much we need Him. God doesn’t abandon us in the storm or valley and He’s not working against us. He’s with us in every moment and He’s for us. In those moments, sometimes it’s hard to see what He’s doing, but we have to walk by faith and we have to hold on to His promises. The storms and the valleys that He takes us through at times are not meant to destroy us, but it’s to draw us closer to Him and to build us up into the man and the woman He’s calling us to be. Don’t let go, keep holding on!

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9

[Drew Maddux @DrewMaddux]

Dear God,

Good morning-thank you for the blessings of life this day and the fact that I get to enjoy another day living and loving! Today, Please help my unbelief and when I doubt. Reassure me when my overthinking or assumption grabbing tries to take over my faith in You. Calm me when my anxiety and fear cause me to worry. Re-center me when my emotions lead me down a path of uncertainty and take me captive. Allow me to walk by faith even in the moments where my thoughts tell me something differently! I give you my life and completely trust in you and the plans you have for my destiny!

In Jesus’ name,
Amen 🙏

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
