(Psalm 77:11–15)

My Relationship to God

Blessed be the Lord; day by day He bears our burdens, the God of our salvation. Our God is the God of salvation, and to God the Lord belongs escape from death. (Psalm 68:19–20)

Lord Jesus, all that the Father gives You will come to You, and whoever comes to You, You will never cast out. For You have come down from heaven not to do Your own will, but the will of Him who sent You. And this is the will of Him who sent You, that You will lose none of all that He has given You, but raise them up at the last day. For Your Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and You will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:37–40)

The Character I Want to Cultivate

(Colossians 3:12–14)

My Relationship to Others

I will love my enemies and pray for those who persecute me. (Matthew 5:44)
