Father,
Thank you for being unwavering in a world that is constantly changing and evolving.
You are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8).
You have yet to disappoint me, Lord!
Please forgive all of my unrealistic expectations and insane demands.
You are the Greatest Teacher whose patience never runs out.
No matter how stubborn I have been in the past…you have nudged me in the best direction and waited fervently for me to grasp a lesson or two along the way.
“For the Scriptures encourage us with these words: “Everyone who believes in him will never be disappointed.””
Romans 10:11 TPT

When I left home at a young age, you softened my dad’s heart so he would welcome me back home with open arms. I now cherish unforgettable moments with my dysfunctional family, the hidden treasures in family traditions and most importantly their unconditional love!
When I was lost in the wilderness, you adored me and never gave up. I bet you were thrilled when I acknowledged your ways and surrendered my heart. I now value the narrow road filled with inner Joy and Hope!
When I was in imminent threat, you protected me from a head-on collision, and allowed me to walk away without physical injuries… just minor collateral damage! I am now confident of your generous love and protection.
When I left my home town, you opened up new horizons and helped me settle in a foreign country far away from family and friends. I am now much closer to you than ever. Our intimate relationship will be nourished for years to come.
When I left the last employer, you reserved the career opportunity so I may be rehired in less than two months. I now appreciate all the hidden blessings in the midst of chaos, challenges and confusion!
Help me be still so I may listen to your soft whispers filled with wisdom today and always.
You are my God of ‘second chances.’
in Jesus’ name I praise and I’m forever grateful,
Amen
