I'm not sure if this goes here, but I wanted to share it. May it encourage someone!
Lord Jesus, when I was in the one chatroom, someone said I seemed to have a bit of sorrow. I must admit to You that it is true. But I try to hide it...even though nothing is hidden from You. You see the pain in my eyes...my heart. I will not try to hide it, but I will keep on going. For my sorrow will be wiped away and in the end...I will be stronger for You are with me.
I can not be who I am without my past...I can not go on without You, God. I can see the past, but not the future. So I again lay it at Your feet. The sorrow is but for a moment...in the morning...the joy will come! I am waiting for that morning, God. Where is it?
I may not see the plans and satan may be saying You have forsaken me, I will NOT listen to the voice of the stranger...the enemy is not my friend. I WILL listen to the Good Shepherd! You have only GOOD things for me and I will remember all Your promises!
I am trying my hardest to rely only on You, God, but I falter like Peter who walked on the water and sank. I am sinking. I cry out to You and You reach out Your hand. I can see Your smiling face..."Why did you doubt?" And I have to realize that...my doubt comes from wanting things that are still out of reach...and I am not content with what I have. God, help me to be content with my life. I just can't be like this. Is it so wrong, Lord, to want what I wish for most? For what I long for...desire...but not more than my desire to be in Your presence...No Lord...I don't want my wish more than You...If it ever comes to that, I ask that You would show me. For I can't go on without You
But this desire eats at me...and I yearn...God...if I promise You...oh God...forgive me. God, if I speak as Hannah did, would my wish come true? For only You can grant it. I ask this for I am in such...oh God...
Lord, I have come...for I am in need of Your strength. For I am weak...and lowly of heart...I will dedicate every child You give to us, Lord, for them to be wholly Yours all the days of their life. I want to see their sparkling eyes and smiling faces. How can I yearn for that which I never had? Oh God...
