Bigger

God, I love you. You are awesome. Nobody else deserves that title. You are so much bigger than my life and the circumstances that have been placed before me.

Lord, I am going to be honest with you because there is nothing I can hide that you don't see anyway. I'm tired of grieving. I'm tired of pain and sadness. I'm tired of being angry. I do not want to be a bitter person so I ask that you would extract these things from my life. None of these feelings are from you. You ask that we rejoice in every season of life.

"Rejoice in the Lord always! I will say it again, Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4.

Please reveal to me that you have a better plan for my life than what I'm seeing now. I pray against the enemy because he's been doing a really good job lately... but you're so much better. You already won and you will win in this one life of mine.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you a hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and pray to me,

and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

God you don't need me, but for some reason you want me. I need you with every breath I breathe because without you, I simply wouldn't be. Forgive my selfishness and it's frequency. Forgive my human falters and all that entails. Guide my ways forever.

Daily Gratitude: Thank you for today. Thank you for patience, deep conversation, and laughter. Thank you for acknowledgement that situations are beyond my control. Thank you for peace today, the only peace that you can provide. Thank you for helping me to accept the cards that I've dealt but that I always have you to hold my hand to guide me. Thank you for precious friends, who are there to listen, who will cry with me when I'm hurting, and who will always love me. Thank you for all the blessings in my life, for having a car, a house, and my own bedroom. I am so blessed. Thank you for Kate Simons who you've instilled the idea for daily gratitude :) I love her, please bless her.
