Born out of the crucible of trials
Dear Lord, would You please help me:
-to submit to You rather than my circumstances?
-to deal with problems rather than avoid them?
-to see Your larger purposes and not dwell on the pain of the moment?
-to die a thousand deaths to self if necessary, that Your life will emerge?
-to understand that more than a change in circumstances, I need a change in character?
-to recognize setbacks as a perfect part of Your perfect plan?
-to lean on Your strength when my weaknesses are exposed?
-to know You are as concerned with my heart as You are with my actions?
-to recognize that revealing my wrong motives is your way of loving me enough to discipline me?
-to exalt Christ, not self?
-to be willing to embrace all of life wholeheartedly for Jesus' sake, that You may work out Your salvation in me for the glory of God and the good of others?
