A Prayer for Perseverance

The days rush by like a hurricane-- information and test results and procedures and probable diagnoses slapping against me and whirling around me at a maddening speed, bending me and breaking off my branches so that I am stripped bare.

I am tired.

Ironically, it is in my exhaustion that I find strength I did not know I had. When I am bent so far I think I will snap in two, I have nowhere else to turn but up. I see my God-- the One who whispers, “Be strong and courageous, for I am with you.”

He does not promise ease; however, He does promise life. And it is this chapter of my life that has changed me. With new eyes, I see the things that matter.

And so-- I push forward. I do the hard things. Even if I cannot count it all easy, I can count it all joy.
