Word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the
destroyer.

The Spirit empowers me in a relentless pursuit of my high
calling.
I often think about how I can be more resolute.
I appreciate tenacity.
My spirit reverberates with resolve.
My conscience knows the value of finishing the race set before
me.
I can tolerate those who are fearful and destructive of
themselves and others. I exhort them to become all that God
created them to be. But I am sensitive to the Spirit beckoning me
toward the stature of Christ and away from those who resist Him.
I will not be dragged down by nihilistic, self-destructive
people, sucked into pity parties, and contaminated by collective
selfishness.
