Trouble Has Made Me What I Am

It is suffering that has led me to this place. It is humiliation that has brought forth my defiant voice. I am the sum of my difficult experiences. Therefore I do not regret the unfortunate aspects of my life.

Am I using God as an excuse not to work?

Thanking God In A Time Of Trouble

Yes I am troubled, and troubled I may remain to a certain degree for the rest of my life. But that should not prevent me from giving thanks to God for all that I have received and I have received much. I will give thanks today and every day.

There's Only One Thing That I Should Know

I'm not going to waste any more time wondering who is good and who is bad. There is only one thing that I need to know: God is good. Though I may not always understand his goodness I know that God ultimately wants to benefit me. In that knowledge I will find my rest today.

The Lord's Prayer

God will have the final say in my life. No man can move me from the place that God has given me.

I will do it one day at a time
