Name one thing this morning that is beyond your strength. A situation, a person, a decision you cannot solve. Do not be ashamed that you cannot manage it. Open your hands and say slowly: Lord, this is beyond me: You do it, by Your power at work in me.

And during the day, when you catch yourself scolding yourself for something in which you were only human: that you got tired, that you slipped, that you were not enough. Stop for a moment. Don't keep beating yourself. Say instead: God is not waiting for my perfection, He is waiting for me. And hand Him the very place where you are most fragile.
