 LORD, I want to be like You who obeyed the Father without complaint. You embraced the  chains of humanity when You walked this earth. Convict me whenever I complain or compare  myself to others. Give me Your attitude of humility and thankful acceptance. I choose to  continually offer You a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of my lips that give praise to Your Name. I  long to bring a smile to your face. Teach me the power of a thankful heart. In the Name of  Jesus, we pray. Amen! Ashe!
