THC Personal Confession:
I am a blessed child of the Most High. In this year 2022, I will not listen to evil advice, I will not live like sinners and I will not join those who make fun of God.
Instead I will love the LORD’s teachings and think about them day and night.
Therefore, I will grow strong like a tree planted by a stream, a tree that produces fruits when it should and has leaves that never fall.
Everything I do is declared successful…Amen🙏🏽 (Psalms 1:1-3)
