True spiritual growth

This past year I have experienced some true spiritual growth.

How do I know this?

Because even though it's often a process....I am now able to say with confidence and faith "not my will but Yours be done."

I wish I hadn't had to learn it the hard way. But oh, what peace it has given me!

Prayer

Dear Lord,

I believe Phillipians 4:13. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Even things I don't WANT to do. I know this is true. Maybe.....if you wanted to.....you could stop stretching me and growing me for a little bit? But if you don't want to, that's okay too. I am your child, I am your servant, and I love what you do for me. I know you are with me always....even when I feel alone. I love you, Lord. I love that you love me...and I am content to live my life according to your will. But I do feel overwhelmed sometimes. But Lord, I trust you....I know your promises are always kept and that you will never leave me or let me down. For that I am so grateful. I am so blessed.

Love,
Shannon
