Dear Father God, I know that my music matters to You. I believe that You are proud of me when I work hard to accomplish something. I know that You care about my feelings when I fail or fall short of a goal. And so I have confidence in myself-not because of how well I perform, but because of how much You love me.
God, thank You so much for loving and believing in me. You and Your love are what drive me and encourage me and inspire me and give me confidence. What blessings! Thank You. In Jesus' name, amen.
