Lord, You are far, far more wonderful than our words can ever say, more wonderful than we can imagine. You are the source of all that is good. You long to set us free – free not to make our own selfish plans; but free to be the people you always meant us to be. We praise you that if we trust in you we can have all the resources of heaven and earth to change our lives. Lord stir our hearts today with a renewed commitment to serve You in all we do, for we ask it in Jesus Name. Amen.
