“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” -Colossians 3:12-15
God I need Your peace to rule my heart and mind. The circumstances of my life have piled up years of regret, bitterness, disappointment, and fear. I don’t want these attitudes to rule my mind. I don’t want to feel this way toward You, myself, or the people I love and lead. Holy Spirit help me to release these negative attitudes from my heart. Daily, I commit to giving all of my anxiety over to You, because You care about me.
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” -1 Peter 5:6-7
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” -2 Corinthians 5:17
God, give me a fresh new attitude about You, myself, and my purpose in this world. If I am Your child, then all things are most certainly developing toward my eternal benefit (Romans 8:28). I believe that where pain has ruled I can have joy. I know that where doubt has thrived I can have hope. I trust that the brokenness of my past will be overruled by the blessings I am preparing to receive.

In Jesus’ name!
AMEN
