Lord, I don't understand a whole lot of things. I question so much... even what You are doing a lot of times. I see pain and sorrow, and I cannot wrap my brain around its purpose. I know You work out the good in every bad situation. I know You are well aware of our grief and have experienced more pain than we could imagine. Lord, I have seen heartache and suffering this week in the world and I am asking for mercy and compassion for those who are afflicted. I have tasted Your goodness and I am so grateful for Your grace. I know that You are in control despite whatever Satan throws at us. I am thankful that You have given me my "daily" needs, so that I can lean on You more and learn to put my trust fully in You. Give me the strength to face tomorrow, because I am NOT THERE YET. Your love is amazing. In Jesus' name, amen.
