Give Me Faith
Most days it’s easy to be thankful for what I have. Other days I let what I want to be happening get the best of me. I found out today that my Uncle has a tumor on his lung. That is heartbreaking news. Sometimes the fact that Daniel still doesn’t have a job as an attorney bums me out. I let my focus move to those things that make me sad and allow self-pity to run rampant through my mind. This song has really been an encouragement to me.
Give me Faith to trust what you say
That you’re good and your love is great
I may be weak but your Spirit’s strong in me
My flesh may fail
But my God you never will.
It’s so easy to say “God is Good!” when things are going well. The confidence wanes when to our human perspective things seem to go wrong.
The words to this song have really cut through it for me. I feel very weak in my faith at times when things are not going according to my plan. What I need to pray for is not immediate answers to make my circumstances “right”. I need to ask the Lord for faith to believe that His way is perfect. He is God and I am not.
Faith that He does want what is best for me.

Keri, I will be praying for Daniel to get a job–God is always good and his way is always best!

That means a lot to me Shannon! Thank you. I am so thankful for the work Daniel has now, but would love to see his dream fulfilled.
