Who I Believe Me to Be
God help me to see me as you see me. Give me the courage to accept the truth about who I am. I confess that I often limit my life to the abilities I've already seen in me. You want me to trust you. I love you and sincerely desire to rely only on you for my self-worth and true value.

"Years ago, I read a book about the life of Benjamin Franklin. The author recounted that Franklin decided who he wanted to be early in his life, and he wrote 13 virtues to guide all of his decisions so that he would become that person. Benjamin Franklin didn't want his emotions, his circumstances, or the pressure of pleasing others to determine his destiny, define his personhood, or dictate his legacy. I was so inspired by the idea that I could live out of my virtues instead of living from the circumstances of my life that I wrote my own virtue list. The process of envisioning who I was created and called to be and then writing down the virtues that would enable me to become that person was so exciting."

My Heart
I will listen to my heart's voice and speak and act accordingly. I will quickly repent when I try to live above my heart. I will never accept condemnation, guilt, or shame as a form of punishment.
