"Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day." ~2 Corinthians 4:16

In what way have you seen God renewing you recently? †He's been making me more patient and peaceful. †I'm becoming more compassionate and joyful. †He's making me less self-centered, and more concerned about others.

God, Please help me to not lose heart. When I look at the world around me, it is easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. When that happens, I will take heart, because You are renewing me. Help me to remember all the ways You are at work in my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
