This week is a struggle….how many can relate? However regardless of how much life hurts I have chosen to remember that through God’s kindness and mercy he adopted me as His child. Although I may feel like I am on the outside looking in on my family and friends and feeling completely solitaire I choose to remember that He is with me. No matter how many of my mistakes or failures come to haunt me I choose to remember that he has freed me. He has forgiven me and wiped my sins away.

I will admit at this time my breath has been knocked out of me, my joy has somewhere disappeared, and my motivation is gone. I admit that on my knees and I am broken. But I also understand that this is a valley, and with every valley there is always a mountain top in sight.

So today I am asking God’s people to pray for me. Pray for peace of mind, pray that in this crazy world I find my place, I find the strength to not only forgive but to lend a hand to my enemies. Help me look through the eyes of Christ and not through the eyes of hurt.

Heavenly Father,

I come to you today broken, shattered and hurting. So many people don’t understand but I know you do. I ask you to forgive me for sinning against you and only you. Forgive me for breaking your heart. I pray for my family and for my friends …help them experience your love as their heavenly Father and feel truly free. Thank you for your grace and thank you in advance for giving me strength to endure this valley and come out a better person and better servant for you.

Love you

In Jesus Name Amen
