Dear Father,
Thank You! Today I finally realized what You have been doing for me lately. You have not left me. You have been watching, waiting, letting me get dirty and wallow in the mud and gasping for air as I struggle not to drown in knee-deep water -- so to speak. You've let me struggle just long enough to realize that I truly do need You. Without you, there is NO struggle I can overcome on my own. And, it is time I realize that that includes the small things as well as the big ones.
They are ALL big things to YOU. At the same time, all of the problems that are mountainous to me is but a small hill in Your eyes.
Sometimes the miracles You perform are not the miracles we pray for, but the ones that are in our best interest.
You have, today, reached out your hand and set me before someone who needed from You the same things I need from You. And, You asked me to minister to them. In so doing, I heard everything You said to me as You spoke through me to them. I heard You loud and clear.
I want You to know that it doesn't make the struggle stop for me; but, it does make it easier to deal with. It gives me something else to focus on.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your wisdom and comfort. And, for the Hope You give.
I know You can still give me the miracle I want if You want to. I still pray for that, but I am no longer yearning for it. Thank You.
In Jesus' Holy Name I pray,
Amen
