“

May I always believe in You.

“

The truth is, our lives are going to be hard, even if and when we pray or listen or rely on Him. But in all things, all moments, all days, all challenges—He is good.

“

Because our God is far bigger than anything here on earth—so what do we have to be afraid of?

“

Sometimes God uses the tough moments to teach us. That we do not have to exist here on our own. That we should never carry burdens without help. That we are infinitely valuable, even when we don’t believe or see this worth.

“

What you have, what you’ve always had is your Father’s love. And His love will fill every broken piece, every cracked crevice, every spot of loneliness, or fear, or longing you feel.

“

God, please strengthen me and give me your love—pour it into my spirit. Let it warm me, let it course through my veins, let it remind me that in you, I can do all things.

“

Sometimes the greatest gift is the one God gives us when we’re too busy praying for something else.

“

God I pray that you take my pounding heart, my clammy hands, my brain that’s continually over-thinking and give me peace.

“

God, show me that in every season, good or bad, you are my loving God. And help me to seek you more.

“

Father, please be with this boy I loved. Show him how powerful you are, how big your heart is. Show him the love you want for him—a love that is pure, passion, and honorable to both him, and you.
