LORD, all these trials and troubles – they have served to open my eyes, and my heart, to the realization of how much I need YOU . . .
Every day that realization grows.
It grows deeper, wider, stronger.
Like a rushing river.
It carves out this way for YOU in my life.
I find myself crying out more often, and more loudly, for YOU to help me.
I find myself talking with YOU – no matter where I am, what I am doing, or who I am with.
Sometimes I smile when I think about the Irishman on Braveheart 😉
And sometimes, I wonder what others think when they see me, or hear me. LOL
LORD, I am not self-reliant.
Even though Rick is no longer here, and I am alone.
LORD, I lean on, rely on, and trust in YOU . . .
More and more, and more . . .
It’s not easy to be thankful for the storms – but I feel that I must be.
For without the storms, I wouldn’t know YOU the way I do now.
And while I want to know YOU more –
LORD, I really am tired of the storms.
Sigh.
: John 15:5 – I AM the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
- Thank YOU GOD, that I can do nothing without YOU . . .
: II Corinthians 1:8-9 – For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God Who raises the dead.
- Thank YOU for helping me to realize these verses in my own life.
: Ephesians 5:20 – For which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
- LORD, please, use me.
