My prayer:
Learning to be ok with things not being ok is really hard. It seems pretty obvious that it is going to be a long time before life is "normal" again, if I even know what normal means anymore. You know my natural tendency is to "fix" things. I can't fix any of this.
I pray for your help God. I pray for your help in the situations. But I also pray for your help in being ok with things not being ok, for now. I pray for your peace and your joy in the middle of the rest of it. I pray for your guidance and your will in everything.
What God Said Tonight:
Deep breath in, and deep breath out.
The truth is that life will not be "ok" again until I come back. Until I return to earth, there will be strife and division and violence and trouble. You will have trials and tribulations. It is as true today as it was when Paul first wrote it. But, you also have me. And with me in your life, you can have life more abundantly. You can have life that is rooted in the clear understanding that I have your best in mind and I will see you through anything.
That is where you find your peace, your joy, in the contant assurance that I am with you and I won't let you down. Keep breathing and leave the rest up to me.
