Good morning my dear Friend,How I struggle with your commands and injunctions to me. I so long to be the person you would have me be, but I continue to harbor resentments of things that disturb me. You have told me to praise you for these things and people and I am trying, Lord. I give you thanks and praise for my husband, even when he drinks too much. I praise you and thank you for my job and the people I work with even when I want to quit and do something else. I give you thanks and praise for the relationships people I care about have with others, even when I want those relationships for myself. As I write out my praises, I realize all of my complaints are selfish and I have so very much to be thankful for. Please help me. Forgive me for my selfishness and pettiness and exchange my hurts and anxieties for blessings on the people I find myself resenting. Thank you Lord, for your many blessings and guide me in what you want me to do with my life.
Don't be afraid my sweet one. Continue on in the way you are going and soon, very soon all will be made clear to you. I know you are deeply dissatisfied with your life as it is today. I am working on changes for you, but I do not want them to be so abrupt, so radical thay you do not survive the ordeal. I am working out your deepest prayer requests in the manner which will suit you best. Do you trust me to do this? If you do, then do not fear. Go on the way you are currently on and I will bless you with answers to your prayers. Fear not. Yes, praise me for things you do not see happening. All is well, my sweet one. I love you so very much.
