I thank you for the many blessings that you bestow.

The incredible, incomparable love that you show.

I thank you for the doors that you have opened and the doors that you have closed.

You are forgiving in nature, consistent in loving and delivering and faithful forevermore.

I love you because you first loved me.

You showed compassion and gave me liberty.

You are the light in the darkness, the hope when things look bleak.

I can count on you always, for you

don’t slumber or sleep.

You are the undefeated champion and with you I am more than a conqueror.

You awaken, you position, you elevate, you restore.

You speak and the winds obey, the mountains move, the demons tremble.

You know the plans that you have for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me.

Plans to give me hope and a future. Although life can seem like abstract art, I know you are orchestrating and painting a magnificent masterpiece.

I am your great design!

On your mark Get set
Run

This race I run
To obtain well done

Slow and steady
Is how I run
I stay in my straight And narrow lane

For this race I run To obtain well done

Some may fall
By my side
On the prize ahead I keep my eyes

For this race i run To obtain well done

Obstacles appear But I have no fear I pace and leap

To land on my feet For this race i run To obtain well done

I am not uncertain
to where I run
So will maintain the course that I begun

For this race I run To obtain well done

If I remember the training That I received
I have power within
That Will increase

For this race i run To obtain well done

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.

Amen
