Please forgive my jealous heart. I am too quick to envy what I do not have, or judge what I do not want.
This is not a heart that is filled with worship and adoration for the many blessings you have provided me. Please forgive my sinful nature, and please replace my evil ways with habits that are of you, for you, and that glorify you.
Amen.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
-Psalm 9:1
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
-Phillippians 4:6

-Phillippians 4:6
In the midst of my disobedience, my spirit quotes to me Job 38... who am I to question the Lord's doings? My discontent soul darkens his counsel with thoughts lacking in knowledge. I am far more blessed than a vast majority of this world's population. Who am I to want more when I deserve death?
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens;
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host on by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing
-Isaiah 40:26
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: they do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are then birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Consider the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!... do not worry about it... your Father knows that you need them.
-Luke 12:22 - 30
