Another day spent with friends at the Airbnb. We watched movies, went to the lake, rented boats, and cooked dinner together. It was a wonderful time!

Two of my friends aren’t believers, but we had the opportunity to talk about faith and share spiritual experiences tonight. I caught myself still wanting to convince them or prove how good Your way is—partly because I felt like I had to show that my way is better. But I recognized those thoughts for what they are, and I pulled them out because I know they aren’t pure.

Oh Lord, You know me better than anyone. Thank You for helping me become more aware of these thoughts and for giving me the strength to stop them early on. Please continue to search my mind and guide my heart, keeping me close to You under Your wings.
