Lord, Your Word says that all of You lives in Jesus, and because of Him, I already have everything I need. I do not have to look anywhere else. But I forget that so fast. I keep looking for one more thing to feel okay. A new game. A friend to like me back. A good grade on a test. Help me remember today that I am already complete in You. Amen.
