Defeats Do Not Define Us

Early we seek your face this morning thankful for a moment to rest in your presence. Thank you for the restorative powers of sleep and the refreshment of rest. Thank you that both were apart of our night time hours.

We look with anticipation to the possibilities of today. We desire that the joys of yesterday will linger today and past disappointments will dissipate with morning dew. As much as we want to float through the day, help us to be present and accounted for in every moment, minute and aspect of the day/

Forgive us again for sins committed by thought word and deed. Help us to release those who have sinned against us through forgiveness.
In Jesus name, assist us in learning from our mistakes. We know its because of your love you chastise us. Thank God our defeats do not define us nor are we doomed to repeat a negative past. Amen. Robert Payne
