"Lord, give us enough hurts to keep us humane, enough failures to keep our hands clenched tightly in Yours, and enough of success to make them sure we walk with You throughout all of our life."

This is a snippet what I pray today. This is found in many prayers from weddings, to christenings’, to blessings of our homes and churches, for prayer over our family and friends and many more. I have embarked on a journey these last couple months and my journey is not done, I have many roads to cross, may obstacles to overcome and may roads blocks to back me up. But with that there are many goals I’ll accomplish, joyful moments, everlasting memories, hearts I’ll touch, tears of joy, and inspiration to receive and provide. I pray that God gives me the strength and understanding to make this journey complete and to do as he would want me to do. I realize that he has not brought me, neither you this far to leave us. Each and every situation and circumstance is for the glory of him. He will never give us more than we can bear. As said in my prayer, he needs to prepare us for his blessing and if that means we have to encounter hurts, failures, and successes to keep us in his plan to walk with Him throughout all of our life then so be it. I know that through all things, he is with me each and every step of the way.
