Father, your will seems so hard to grasp. I search and pray, watch and listen, spend time with you and with others all in an effort to find your will, and yet it seems to elude me. Lord give me the eyes to see the world the way you do. Give me your grace to accept the parts of your will that seem to be too painful to look at. Give my counselors words to share and clarity of heart and mind. Lord you know the path laid before me. You have gone ahead and know what is waiting. I pray that you would give me a glimpse as to what it is that you have prepared. Make my heart peaceful and my mind still as I await the word of your will. Amen.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. This verse just makes me want to shout, "AMEN!" But isn't it frustrating how Satan knows exactly where to hit us to make us doubt? And then he is so good at kicking us while we are down. I, unfortunately, had this experience very recently. I was feeling a little worried about a particular situation and then Satan pounced and made me feel like an enormous loser. He was feeding me lies that he knew I would believe, because they are the same lies I always fall for. Thankfully, I was able to spend some time with God in quiet solitude. I was reminded that no matter what Satan throws at me, I will never be separated from the love of God because I have Christ Jesus...
