Do I pray for their happiness? An easy life filled with joy and protection from trial? Of course. But is that all I should be praying for? I heard this song tonight and was so convicted of the real lessons we learn in life. May the Lord help my children rise to the occasion of each one.
Pray by Kendall Payne
May your heart break enough that compassion enters in
May your strength all be spent upon the weak
All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head
May they all fall, come crashing down around your feet
May you find every step to be harder than the last
So your character grows greater every stride
May your company be of humble insignificance
May your weakness be your only source of pride
What you do unto others may it all be done to you
May you meet the One who made us
And see Him smile when life is through
May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they'd be
And when you look upon the broken
May mercy show you what you could not see
May you never be sure of any plans you desire
But you'd learn to trust the plan He has for you
May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire
May you fight with all your life for what is true
Just a thought.
Or five.
Don't know about you, but it sends me to my knees for all new reasons.
934. rallying with a peaceful heart
935. no questions from the kids
936. people showing up on time
937. a bigger view of heaven
938. walking through trials with others
939. seeing an old friend in person after too long
940. falling into bed exhausted
941. seeing God work in hard circumstances
