Dear Father God, I know that I’m not perfect. And I know that You love me even though I get things wrong sometimes. Father, I ask You to forgive me and free me from my feelings of guilt and inadequency. I know that You have not given me a spirit of fear but You have given me a “spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim 1:7). Help me to focus on Your Word and stand in the power that it exudes through Your Holy Spirit (Heb 4:12) for in my weakness I am made strong by Your strength (2 Cor 12:10). Thank You Father, in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
