In the still of the morning, You are the delight of my heart. My longings to find peace that only You can supply. My longings to please, my desires placed at Your feet. Heavenly Father, it is Your will I desire, but at times I am torn apart for the answers to prayers are not clear.
I know I must be still--wait patiently for You. You have always carried through these valleys so low and lifted me to the highest mountains. You always carry the burdens of my heart, but at times I forget to give them to You.
At times I don't understand the direction my life has taken, but accept in faith that You are the driver and I a mere passenger just visiting as I make my journey towards eternal life with You.
You make this road of life more blessed and rich. My life would be nothing--meaningless and fruitless, no hope for a brighter tomorrow. You seal my heart, prepare it for the heavenly journey I one day will make, but for now You are my strength and hope. You help me endure and enjoy the losses and celebrations.
You have given us so many things to enjoy. The cool and crispness of a beautiful Autumn morning. When I wake and see the fog rolling over the fields, the geese headed south, the beautiful hues of colors that illuminiate the trees. Beauty such as this can only come from heaven above. My life is so blessed and it all comes from You.
