One small step may not seem powerful when you take it.
But small steps repeated over time can take you much farther than you imagined.
And when life feels uncertain, do not forget the things that are still within your control.
You cannot control every person’s behavior.
You cannot control every outcome.
You cannot control how quickly certain doors open.
But you can control how you respond.
You can choose patience.
You can choose perseverance.
You can choose gratitude.
You can choose courage.
And if you believe in God, you can choose prayer.
Prayer does not require you to have perfect words.
You can come to God with your worries exactly as they are.
You can pray when you are grateful.
You can pray when you are afraid.
You can pray when you are confused.
You can pray when you don’t know what to ask for anymore.
Sometimes prayer is not about immediately receiving an answer.
