Faith

As we go through life, we will encounter many unexpected circumstances and surprises. Some will be pleasant. Some will not. Jesus... how can I remain worry-free? I know, in my head, that You always provide. That, in the end, You always find a way to make things "right." But I am having so much trouble quieting my restless soul. My parents have done everything they can to be supportive and encouraging. Reassuring me that they will take care of everything. But I am no longer a "child." I understand how hard it is for them to "take care of everything." And, thus, my heart is erratic.

Lord... please... I need so much help at this hour. Help remembering how great You are. Help remembering Your power and majesty. Help remembering that You are fully in control.

God, there are so many things that I fail to do. So many things that I neglect. Yet, You knew that I would fail. You knew that I would neglect. And You also know the turmoil that is brewing within me. You know best of all how I am feeling. So Lord, I ask for Your mercy and love to wash over me. I do not deserve anything from You. I do not deserve Your grace, Lord, for I am such an ungrateful son to You most of the time. But I know You love me the same. Your love is perfect, Lord; incomparable. Your love covers all.

So give me peace. Increase my faith Lord.
