Good morning Father, You know those problems I was telling you about yesterday, well, they don't seem to have got any better. I don't know why I feel like this, do you think it might be self pity or something? Things were really going well for me at work, at home and at church but now I feel I'm being 'got at' all the time. My routine is being changed by other people. I don't suppose they even realise. It does hurt me though and you know I don't like having to confront my friends. Although I find I seem to be able to do it to my family. I am very close to tears now Father. I wish I could snap out of this. It's like the 'me' on the inside has slipped down into a dark hole and it can't get back up. Yet when the 'me' on the outside looks at my wife and children, tears well up in my eyes. I love them to pieces and want everything to be so beautiful with us. Father, give me some of your wisdom. Am I supposed to be learning something from all this? I find it so hard to follow your example.
Sit down son, I know you love your wife as I love the church and you absolutely adore your kids and I know you cherish your friendships. These are good enough reasons for the 'you' inside to have faith and step out of the hole. As you do this, I will give you the strength you need to face your mountains and with love, compassion and with rejoicing in your heart you will be back on the narrow path. I never said it would be easy did I? Rejoicing, after a time away from your loved ones is the best tonic I can give. So rejoice and be glad in it. Please remember that I have loved you since before you were born, and I rejoice in you.
Father, thank you, you are my strength and my foundation. I will always rejoice in you.
