The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. (Proverbs 21:5)

Let us pray: God of love and faithfulness, I offer you thanksgiving and praise for the many opportunities that you have bestowed upon me. I can never achieve what I am right now without your abundant and loving grace. Thank you Lord for giving me courage and hope. I do not regret those times when I was alone, working extra hours while others have left their posts and gave up on their dreams. You were my strength Lord all these times. Amen.
