God... are you helping me to do this? If You don’t, I’m not sure I will make it. I do believe in myself and what I am capable of. At the same time I am realistic about my limitations. I can endure, but only with Your grace. In return, I don’t have much to offer except my love and belief in You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In the past I tried to cut deals with You and make promises I couldn’t keep. This time I’ll just be honest with You and myself. I can never make good on my promises to You except for one - to never stop believing You are there for me. Regardless of what happens, You will never leave or forsake me. I now believe this and it inspires me to push forward.
The lesson? Sometimes a resurrection is needed to live life to the fullest.
