Trials of This Life

The Good News Today Is...I am back. After battling with a tooth I ended up triumphant - at least for this battle, yet I think there is a whole war going on in my mouth. It has been a trial to be sure, and I think I am only part way through. However I found this wonderful prayer that says it all.

Father God, Today I am afraid. I look around me at this world that is changing so fast and I feel lost like a small boat in the midst of a storm. I am not built to weather the battering waves or the howling wind. So I wait now in your presence. You spoke the oceans and the four winds into being. You threw the stars in the sky and separated the sea from dry land. You took the hand of Peter who was sinking into the depths of the water and walked him to safety. I choose now to fix my eyes on you and not on the storm. I settle my heart on your love and not on the current that threatens to pull me under. Thank you that you are my firm anchor even through the darkest night, Amen

There is nothing our Father can not handle if we fix our eyes upon Him!
