Blessed Father, in the pain I have found the importance of glory and the value of Love. In the trials the worth of friends who love and entertain the same counsel.  With ease we gain nothing but summers rest and relief from the testing trials of a dawn we’ve avoided. Grateful for the path with incline the breaking back of weights heavier than one might bare, that in the midst of struggles we found our path to surrender. Without overwhelming force I would remain inside a domain of self, never comprehending the impossible only a failures breath beyond explanation. I do not quest to lose loves and feel fates weighty hand upon my life, but in poverty I find need and contentment, in pain I find reserve and endurance and through it all I find your supporting and guiding power and trust. It is strange to be thankful of trials and pain but I must then remain peculiar to be true.

Lord, where is this balance of prevision and worship? How may we remain inclined with ear’s welcome to the wisdom of Your Word and abounding in the plenty provided by Your Blessing Hand? Where is that balance, the fulcrum at which we never leave your counsel yet find our way to security and safety in the things given from your love? Is it the same as manna, living for each day content with my penny for the work with which I am blessed? Father let me reside within that swing to and fro that I never exceed its limitations, always faithful, obedient and devoid of worship for the material goods surrounding. Give us truth and a firm steady, faithful regard for the path you’ve lain before us.

This is our greatest blessing, this opportunity to turn from the World’s Lure. Let me trust in all things eternal and let go of the temporal that I might begin preparation for permanency in heaven, with God. Yes, this part of the journey is trial, is trapping is a steady metronome of marking time in hours for pay, but there is reason worthy of the painful moments. These trials are merciful adjusting preparations for the hereafter.  Shall I regard them so or tackling them in complaint seeking some expectation’s met? This painful, tragic, loving, deep, REAL, LIFE I AM LEADING is worthy of my best and is the life I have been given by Almighty God to enjoy, utilize, learn from and live abundantly. I shall not dishonor that gift by wishing some other gift than this glorious one I have received, this day.  In Jesus’ Name I Rejoice in whatever this day may bring.
