Okay.

God, you are in control.
You are good.
You love me.
You care about me.
I can't sit here and say that no one does
or ever will.
You will never stop.
You know me completely,
you know each moment of my life
before one comes to pass.
You have good plans for me.
I can trust you completely,
and that is why I can praise you.
Even when things get hard,
you are still in control.
You are still good.
Your love never fails.

If I fear you,
I have nothing to fear.

Forgive me for being jealous and envious of others.
Help me to be content where I am right now,
to praise you where I am,
to follow you where I am,
to trust you where I am,
to let go of shame,
to let you grow me where I am
and not compare myself to others
or where I think I should be.
God, be near to me.
