Lord, You, the Most High, the name above every rejection, have the final say over me. You know me and love me intimately, personally, and fully. Let my reactions to all things make it evident that I spend a lot of time with You. I want my gentleness to be evident to all. I want Your fullness in me to be the atmosphere around me. I want Your love to shine through me. And I want Your peace to be the path I walk. May Your Truth be my wisdom when I talk. You are my everyday dwelling place, my saving grace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
