Psalm 11: 3 says, there is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart. The best that I can do when it seems like all has fallen apart is pray that God's Grace does not fall apart; otherwise, I am finished. God knows that I am only just beginning; so help me God to continue holding on to you, your grace, your promise to take care of ALL my 'ups and anys'.
I have allowed you to prove to me that I am good enough only when I see myself through your eyes. Abraham did not know where he was going when you told him time to pack up and leave; Job lost all he owned and delighted in even though his heart was trusting you; it took a burning bush to help you get Moses to recognize the power in the stick he held in his hand; Jonah thought that being a stowaway would stop you from commissioning him to save Nineveh; Nehemiah recognized you even when imposters tried to knock down his confidence in you; Judith, Debbie, Rahab and Esther trusted that God always has a haphakh. I could go on and on...
So I pray: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
Courage to change the things that I can
Wisdom to know the difference
Clarity to understand what Wisdom is teaching me
Obedience to follow Wisdom's Instructions
Two of God’s great gifts
Wisdom and understanding
Things money can’t buy
Aham!
