Lord, Please remind me that confidence and peace are found in Your love, not my performance. Quiet the voice of shame and criticism that tries to speak louder than Your truth. Help me to release the lies of the enemy and to rest in Your grace. Let Your Word replace every negative thought with reminders of who I am in You — forgiven, loved, and whole. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
