Dear God,
My mind can hardly fathom the depth of your love for me.
So when my anxious heart feels suffocated with the mounds of worry this life can bring,
I only know to come to you.
You who knows every hair on my head.
You who flung stars into space.
You who plans every step I take.
When my worry mounds and builds,
escalating to numbers that exceed my expectations,
You ask me to relinquish my cares to Your hand.
The hand that created the hair on my head.
The hand that created the starry night sky.
The hand that holds my future.
Would you give me the courage to trust You wholly?
Would you give me Your peace that calms all fears?
For that is when I am rejuvenated…
From pitiful worrier…
To prayer warrior.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.
I asked God to take away my pain. God said “No.” It is not for me to take away, but you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said “No.” Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience. God said “No.” Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it is it isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness. God said “No.” I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain. God said “No.” Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said “No.” You must grow on your own but, I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I ask God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said “No.” I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me love others, as much as he loves me. God said “Ahhh, finally you have the idea.”
