The strength of my heart is only found in You, Lord God. You are my solace and my reprieve. Everything transformed within me is a result of the mighty work of Your hands. How astonishing are the things that You do. How undeserving I am of the blessings. Your compassion knows no bounds. Your mercy extends beyond the borders of condemnation. Only Your Spirit can shape me into Your likeness. Only Your influence can guide me on the path of righteousness for the sake of Your Name and the purpose of bringing You glory. May I never take for granted the redemption You brought about on the cross. By Your blood, my sins have been washed away. When sorrows weigh me down, it is You who carries me to the next destination on the spiritual trek leading me to Your Kingdom. Adversity is only a tool in Your hands. Your presence brings lightness to my heavy heart. Jesus, You are my portion forever. Under the manifold blessing of Your Word in Psalm 73:26 and the authority of Christ, I come to the altar in humble prayer.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26, NIV
