Why is it we turn to You so quickly when things fall apart? While everything goes smoothly and exactly the way I hope, I find it so easy to forget that You are standing right next to me. My earnest desire is to return praise for every one of Your blessings.
Today I remember the birth of my beautiful daughter. For a whole year her presence has blessed my life so that I find it impossible to think of life without her. She was born without complication and has had a year of wonderful health. Thank you.
Today I also carry a burden. One in which only You know the depth and breadth. But maybe this is how knowing You more starts. Maybe such a trial is a blessing and another opportunity for You to show Yourself faithful. It's easy to walk a smooth road. But it is on those rocky, steep, and pot holed roads that you hold my hand. When you hold my hand I feel closer to You. Just like my child, she is so confident when the path is easy, but I have to admit I love it when she reaches out to me. I love being her hero. God, You are more than my hero. You are my Savior and I find you when I fall apart.
Help me not to worry but to completely trust in You. You have never disappointed. Expectations have no limit with You. Even the smallest flower is beautiful. You have hands that put together the pieces perfectly.
My hope is in You and so I rest,
Amen
