Thank You for the gifts of education, of career, a healthy body and a positive support system, all of which have provided me with opportunities for growth and self-improvement. Thank You for every door You have opened for me. My sinfulness does not deserve to be in the presence of Your glory, and yet You still patiently encourage me to correct my wrongs. For all these sins, my Lord, I am deeply sorry. In times of hardship, I can sometimes be quick to blame You or question Your plans for me. In times of joy and abundance, there are times when I eagerly celebrate myself but forget to celebrate and thank You, the One who has turned all my successes into fortune. There have been many trials in my life, and You were with me through all of them. You are the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the God of all gods, yet here You are, sparing me all the time in the world just to listen to my woes and give me peace and comfort. I kneel before Your presence in awe and reverence. Remember to let go of limiting beliefs by sharing all our worries with the Lord. However, remember that if we do that, we may have returned to our comfort zone…but will that choice change and improve our lives in the future? Will we let ourselves be stuck in the same routine for a long time, never able to see how amazing of a person we can actually be if we just put in a little more courage and perseverance? Whatever our fresh start may be, and no matter how ‘big’ or ‘small’ it is, a change in our normal routine can be difficult, and there will be many, many times when we want to make a U-turn. Whenever we try something new, be it a new job or a new neighborhood or even just a new routine for starting our day, we may have questioned why we even decided to do it in the first place and a brief moment where we’re tempted to go back to our comfort zone, to return to how things have always been before we dipped our toes outside it. New beginnings can feel both exciting and fear-inducing. How did it feel the first time we started a new habit or hobby, the first hour we started a more challenging workout regimen, the first day we worked somewhere different, the first month of marriage, or the first year living in a new country?
