Choose from the ff: Trustworthy, Truth, Unchanging, Vine, Victorious, Way, Wisdom, Wonderful, Yearning, Zealous
B. Confess to God
- Reflect: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Confess:
– Ask the Lord to examine your life and reveal any sin
– Humbly repent and ask God to forgive you
– Thank the Lord for His mercy and grace through Jesus Christ
C. Thank God
- Reflect: Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord. So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
Psalm 32:10-11

D. Ask God
- Reflect: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you”.
