Thank you for the obstacles that are put in my path because it makes me cling to you even more. I realize that I am not able to handle everything on my own and that you are more than willing to meet me halfway or even take on the burden if I simply ask for your help. You never give me more than I can handle and you never leave me without the sweetness of your grace and mercy. You know exactly what I need before I ask even though sometimes I forget that!
Thank you for turning my anger this morning into forgiveness and releasing me from those bonds of bitterness and anger, and allowing me to go on with my day without my heart being full of the need for revenge. I have no doubt that whatever happens on earth will be dealt with by you when the day comes, so there's no point in me wasting my time dwelling on it. There are things that are beyond my control, but nothing is beyond yours!
I stop and think about the many blessings that you send my way each and every day - all of the smiles, all of the kind words, all of the wonderful friends who have such huge hearts, the silliness, the love that surrounds me, and most of all, your love and forgiveness. All of the greatest things in my life come from you.
There are days, like today, when it isn't easy. I stumble and I fall, but you never leave me. When all else fails, you never fail me. When I feel like I'm at my lowest, you are there with a loving embrace, ready to lift me up and give me wings to soar. Your love, mercy and goodness are infinite!
