You see where I’ve trusted myself instead of You. But today, I choose faith. Not because I feel strong, but because You are faithful. You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. So today, I release control. Today, I trust Your promises. And today, I take the next step of obedience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
