God bless my week. Every step I take, move with me. Wherever I'm weak, be my strength. And God, anything that doesn't belong here, remove it so I can get everything that's for me. I'm a winner and I know this, and no matter how I play out, I won't accept defeat. This week is going to be light and productive. I'm not entertaining anything that doesn't pertain to my people. My goal is my purpose; that's the only way I am carrying His purpose. God, help me be mindful of every thought I think, help me strategize, give me the strength and energy I need to keep moving 100%, and help me make the best decisions possible. Thank you for keeping me safe, for making a way when I can't make a way on my own, for leading me, for the amazing week ahead, and for hearing my prayer. It's a new week, a new month, let's get to it. There's no time to waste or to dwell on the past. We're moving forward; new things are ahead and they're waiting for me. Whatever happened, happened; it's gone. It's time to be the best I can, learn from mistakes, and keep moving forward. I am proud of myself, and I ask God to bless me.
