Dear Lord,

Good morning, Father. Thank You again for this life that You lend back to me. Lord, thank You for reminding me that I am only borrowing this life from You and anytime You have all the prerogative to take it. Lord, as long as I know that my life is in Your hands then I will be just fine.

Lord, I am sorry that early this morning, instead of thanking You and giving praise to You, I only counted and calculated the money that I received, spent and will receive. Lord, with all the resources You have been giving me, am I using them properly or just wasting them?

Lord, I bought books again yesterday. Books that I know will help me with my studies and other areas in my life. Lord, I guess I need to let go of some that I don't really need and don't really read. I will still save some but I will donate some. Lord, I think I will just donate instead of profiting from them. You will be the One who is going to bless me. I will give those that I don't need anymore. Those that I already read. Lord, it is not easy to let go of those but by Your grace, I can for I was born without anything here on earth and I will depart here also with nothing.

Lord, I am thinking of the debts that I incurred that I have not yet paid. Lord, I will pay my sister the 500p that I owe her come my payday. Then little by little I will also pay my mother. Lord, I just want to come clean with You so I will pay them. All in my obedience of You. I love You more than money.

Lord, thank You so much for all the blessings. For this study table that I can use for my early morning devotions, for the things I was able to buy, for everything that I was able to acquire. Lord, thank You so much for I am able to enjoy everything that You have given me. Yet Lord, give me the wisdom to use everything that You have been giving me be they money, time and talent. Let me use them all for the glory of You.

Father, thank You so much. All I have in my heart is my gratitude for You. For all the blessings. For everything. For the opportunities. In my life, I really do not have any reason to be sad for everything really works together for me. Setbacks may happen along the way but I am rest assured that they happen to bless me and become the person that You want me to be. All for Your glory.

Lord, as I study and meditate on Your Word today, help me to study them well and best, keep them in my heart. Lord, help me not to be sidetrack again by the affairs of this world but help me to just simply focus and just focus on You. Lord, thank You also for making my father come home safe. Thank You Lord for the things You are blessing Him with.

Lord, in my abundance let me remember those who are in want. Make my heart become more generous to them and use me to bless them. Lord, I am planning to spend my birthday in CRIBS. May it become not just a plan but a reality. Not for my glory but for Yours. Lord, I am praying for my loan in PAG-IBIG so that I can use the money that I will get there to bless others.

Lord, thank You again for this lovely, rainy morning. Amen.
