Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. - Matthew 5:5
Dear Jesus,
It's so easy to think everything depends on me. I repent of that large trust I have in myself. I am an ant on your hill. Help me to trust you in every endeavor and at every turn, so I learn to be gentle and unassuming instead of forceful and manipulative to get what I want or think is rightfully mine. Help me to trust you will give me many blessings and more than I could ever imagine. That way, I will quit thinking I need to make everything happen for me. You gave your life so I could live forever. Help me have faith that yields meekness in my heart and life.
Amen
