Dear God, thank You for bringing me through another day. As I get ready to rest tonight, I’m realizing I’ve been waiting for the perfect emotional state to move forward instead of trusting You right in the middle of my situation. Your Word in 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God, I don’t have to feel ready to keep showing up. I’ve pulled off more than I give myself credit for while frustrated, tired, and overwhelmed, and that’s because Your strength has been carrying me the whole time, Hallelujah!!! Help me stop waiting for the perfect circumstances tomorrow and trust that You can use me right where I am, exactly as I am. I give this night to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
