Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. - Psalm 121:1-2

Dear Lord, 

You have given me many strengths and talents and have taught me to faithfully use them to take care of my family and me.  I have enjoyed great freedoms and independence in a country that you provided that gives me great opportunities.  My life is free and fun in this corner of your world.  But I increasingly realize how much you have done to provide the scene, deliver the opportunities and bless my efforts.  I am also keenly aware that I need you for help in every area of my life.  Your supernatural grip on the entire universe and your specific intervention in my personal affairs is what allows me to survive and thrive.  I look to you for help and you graciously do.  I put my life into your loving hands today.  
Amen
