I am a new man in Christ
I am a son of the Patriarch Abraham

God is giving me

Concentration

Evaporating away relatively unimportant and distracting concerns and bringing the tasks God has given me to the center of my attention.

The works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
-- Psalm 111:2

I am easily able to concentrate on any task, and am not brought under the domination of outside influences.

Since I work on tasks that the LORD has given me, I concentrate on each one wholly; in the Power of the Spirit, the principalities and archists of the Old Age cannot disturb me.

Because I meditate, I can concentrate.

I am not afraid to study diligently in an undisciplined, "feelings"-centered culture.

My desire to engage in close examination pleases God.

I am committed to becoming more and more thoughtful.

People around me can depend on me to pay close attention.

The Spirit empowers me to consider and deliberate.

I appreciate deep thought.

My spirit reverberates with devotion.

My conscience knows the value of taking heed.

I am at home with meditation.

Being diligent is a real passion with me.

Those who live and work near me learn from me about

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
-- Romans 8:28-29

I have remembered Thy Name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept Thy Law. -- Psalm 119:55
