Lord, I'm having trouble feeling close to you lately. Of course, there has been all the commotion with people visiting the last week. Also, I know I can't rely on my feelings.
I want to think of you and smile instead of being worried I'm not praying well or doing something wrong. I pray I'll feel relaxed and happy in our relationship.
I'm so looking forward to seeing you face to face one day and holding your hand.
Life is difficult, but life was difficult for you too. You were wanting your task to be over so you could go back home. I feel the same.
I look at the world and see the terrible evil of ISIS, racism, human trafficking, drug lords and all the rest and think of you seeing it in detail every day.
Life looks so overwhelmingly sad to me. Yet you have told me that life is beautiful. I pray I will look on life that way.
There is beauty in a baby's smile and a parent's love. There is beauty in kindness, giving, sharing and loving. There is beauty in a sunset, a mountain or an ocean. There is beauty everywhere. The Bible says the earth is filled with your glory and I see that.
Turn my face towards your face. Let me always see beauty in the life you have given me and the life you have given the world.
