I found this in some of my reading this week and thought it worthy of passing along to you...great stuff to "soak" in...things we know but so easily forget. Well, you probably don't, but I sure do. I have a great memory, it's just short, and I need constant reminders that keep me centered, focused and at peace, God's intended lifestyle for all of us. Be blessed....
Help me, God,
To realize it is in being crippled that I learn to cling and in limping that I learn to lean,
That victory comes not in how courageously I struggle
but in how completely I surrender,
And that this is how I am to grow,
by being defeated,
decisively,
by constantly greater things.
Help me to understand that Your power is perfected in weakness,
so that when I am rendered weak,
You are given the opportunity to be shown strong.
Help me to understand, too,
that "more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,
for so the whole round earth is every way
bound in gold chains about the feet of God...."
