I pray that I may persevere in all good things. I pray that I may advance each day in spite of my stumbling

Each day is a day of progress, steady progress forward, if you make it so. You may not see it, but God does.  God does not judge by outward appearance. He judges by the heart. Let Him see in your heart a simple desire to always do His will.  Though you may feel that your work has been spoiled or tarnished, God sees it as an offering for Him. When climbing a steep hill, people are often more conscious of the weakness of their stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress.

Meditation for the day ~ I pray that I may choose to cross the bridge of faith; I pray that by crossing this bridge, I may receive the spiiritual power I need

Faith is the bridge between you and God. It is the bridge that God has ordained. If all were seen and known, there would be no merit in doing right. Therefore God has ordained that we do not see or know directly. But we can experience the power of His spirit through our faith. It is the bridge between us and Him,, which we can take or not, as we will.  There could be no morality without free will. We must make the choice ourselves. We must make the venture of belief.
