Dear God,

Thanks for this new day. I know you know me more than I can ever myself. You love me deeply, but I don't love myself that much. Please help me to see myself the way that you see me. Thank you for small things, like music, language, the ability to communicate. I praise you because you've designed us in such a way that we can enjoy life. I guess I feel a little down, but I haven't quite put my finger on what it is. Probably a combination of a bunch of stuff.

I pray for Cindy B. and her family, as they go through this second round of cancer. It's hard to see that you have an incredible plan in all of this sometimes, but your ways are not our ways, and the way you work is always best.

I love you, God, and I appreciate what you do in my life.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
