_Dear Father,

You are AMAZING, POWERFUL, TRUE, WONDERFUL, and BEAUTIFUL. You provide me with more than I deserve and more than I could have ever dreamed. Why is it so hard to put all things aside besides You? Why is it so hard to de-clutter my mind? I am so tired of all the lies and the junk that I have believed and held onto for far too long. You do love me. Even as damaged goods, You love me. You have restored my life. I no longer have to walk as one who is defeated. I am a powerful and wonderfully made warrior for You. I do have a purpose. A purpose that is planned for and provided for by You, and it is good. No, it is perfect! I can contribute to the advancement of Your Kingdom. I do have something to offer. I can be successful and not live in fear of rejection and failure. With Your help, God, I can do anything. Help me to put away these lies and disbelief for good! Help me to live passionately and boldly for You – the way You created me to live. From this point forward don’t let me look back only forward to the promises You have in store. Give me strength Lord! Here I go…
