You worked hard. You've earned it. But what if the most honest thing you could say about your success is: "I didn't do this alone"?

In today's 5-minute devotional, we look at one of King David's most surprising prayers - spoken not in crisis, but at his greatest moment of triumph. What he said changes everything about how we see giving, success, and gratitude.

What you'll discover:

- Why the hardest part of giving isn't the amount - it's the admission
- How King David reframed generosity as a "return" rather than a charity donation
- What a 17th-century poet teaches us about a truly grateful heart
- A quiet, practical way to hold your success more lightly at work today
- One tiny step to try this afternoon - no grand gestures required

This is Day 4 of Wisdom for Real Life - a week in Proverbs 3.
