Strength from the Pain

My Heavenly Father,

You know my life, inside and out, from beginning to end.
You see what my purpose will be, and what my failings are now.
You understand my joys and griefs.
Thank You for Your comforting presence in this time of heartache.

My pain was sharp; my sorrow overwhelmed me.
The enemy of my soul came, tempting me to despair and to blame.
I did not know how I was going to survive this separation.
But You whispered to me in my agony.

When I fell to my knees, sobbing, I cried out to You.
I called for light in my darkness.
I begged for forgiveness - for placing another above You.
You, in Your everlasting Love, comforted me.
You let me know that Your desire for me will never fade; Your affection is eternal.
You held me in Your arms, and told me I was Yours.

Thank You, My God, for opening my eyes to You again.
My pain remains, but You transfigure it into a yearning for Your Will.
Whatever my future is, You know.
You hold my heart in Your hands.
I trust my life to You, once again.

I love You!
