His grace overflows...

I am really struggling to trust in the Lord right now! I'm on a balance beam, waiting to take the next step and praying for balance. I cannot balance myself. I've tried, only to fall flat on my face and to be picked up again by the Lord.


God, I know You're in control of my life and I submit myself to You. But right now, I'm really having a hard time seeing your grace in my life. Situations keep coming up and I question my readiness to face them or I wonder if they are signs/warnings. I don't know. You are so big! You will bring me through the struggles going on in my heart. You are faithful. You are my first love.


I need You. You meet all of my needs, both physically, mentally, and, above all, spiritually. Thank You for not letting me squander in my own filth. It still amazes me how good you are to me, a sinner.

I'm a sinner who loves grace.
For I am in a time of life when things change around me. Everything I own or think I have control over I must lay before my Father's feet: my education, my body, my place of residence, my husband, my children.
