MOVING FORWARD

Father, thank you for creating all of us with a purpose. We know that our identity is in you, but sometimes it's difficult to live in that truth. We ask that you would show us what you think of us. Please set us free from the lies that are holding us back so that we can become exactly who you've called us to be. In Jesus' name, amen.
