Thank you for this glorious day Lord. I know this is how I feel in the depths of my soul.
People often accuse me of having no troubles, because of the inner glow of peace you have given me.
They mistake this for a pain-free existence. But Lord, some days I truly long for the peace of heaven. Some days my world and its trying situations seem to be winning the battle, if not the war. But Lord, you have shown me through your one magnificent son, Jesus, that quitting is not an option. The one who wins the race is the one who finishes the race. It is not the one who starts the fastest, and then falls away when times get hard. I have to remember that the goal of my race is to get to heaven, and the plan to do it is to follow Jesus. Perseverance has a lot to do with personal choice and personal faith. You Lord, are eternal and never change, and You are always there waiting for me to cry out to you. Besides choosing the Lord, I must have the faith to follow Jesus and persevere when times are hard. I must trust that through the most frightening storms in my life, there will come a time when the storm is no more. By trusting in you, I give you time and space to accomplish Your good through every situation. You do not bring the storms, but you are there to replenish me and comfort me when they occur. Your loving kindness fills me with strength. And the fact that you are with me before, during, and after all storms helps me persevere through this day with joy and hope. Thank you Lord, for I know you will never forsake me. What a glorious thought to cling to through-out each new day. I praise You for your faithfulness. Your most humble servant. Amen.
