Nice prayer. Being in that special place with God makes the troubles of the World seem so less important.
Sometimes we struggle and we do but, what if 80 years were like 80 minutes to God? Can you imagine eternity? We focus on worldly things and God knows we are learning. The day will come where we will be able to rejoice for an eternity.. Glory. So I will praise him in the good and bad. If I have to cry because I am so hurt I will still praise him because He IS The Only Father. He IS ALL WE HAVE! Glory To God!
1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Love In Christ
If you wish to view the portions of Scripture I used in more context or in a different translation, you might try the following if you don't have your own materials:
Colossians 3:15-17 KJV And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

All The Glory Belongs To God!
It is still difficult to reconcile the things that are going on around us with God says about us in His Word. I know that why have faith in God, yet the real world continue to crush around us disorenting us so that we are sometimes cut off from God.
They tell me that these things are a test of my faith to strengthen me in my relationship with God. Yet I would not willingly put myself through torment.

Ok I respect you being real and God loves that honesty.. We (meaning the children of God) have a purpose. Look at it this way. Before you were born God put spiritual things and gifts in you. So to unlock them and to make us realize what we have we must use them. Unfortunetly, it can't just be told to us because we have the word to read and we still yet don't obey and understand. So what's the best way to learn but, by experience. Yes it's hard but, the reward is greater.. Another thing I have to say because I believe it to be true. We have levels that God has set for us. I don't know if we can achieve all of the levels but, each level trains you on something and that something is used to Benefit the Kingdom. Your works will be judged. If everyone would desire to grow spiritually the world would not be as bad. Because the enemy couldn't distract as much as he does. But, who can we start with ourselves. Because we want to make sure when we stand before the Lord we have past our trials - at least the majority then all unknown will be known. Stay Blessed! Do your best to always look for the Good that's happening please do not allow the enemy to tire you out.. Because he will.. Making us fight battles that belong to the Lord.
2 Corinthians 4:14-15 KJV ( 1789 ) 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
Yes, all the Glory must go to God. As Christians, we have life because Christ has Life. Our Life is in Him. All we have was given to us by Him. In all reality, Jesus Christ is our "all in all".
Ephesians 1:22-23 KJV ( 1789 ) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Love In Christ

Yes! I love Psalm 100! We go before the Lord with singing, with rejoicing. And our LORD, our FATHER, our ABBA rejoices over us with singing! Amen and amen!!
"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." ~Zephaniah 3:17

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias
‘If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.’
C.S. Lewis
"God is in the rain."~Evey in V for Vendetta
"The unexamined life is not worth living". ~Socrates
i hated it when God insisted i "yawp!"
but He knew i must,
and that my life would not begin,
until i yawped.
We all must learn to yawp.
we MUST awaken the passion,
that part of us that feels intensely,
and is NOT afraid to say so
or to express it.
Otherwise we are just dead men walking.

Yes, God gets all the glory. Do we accept our fate silently then as though we are merely puppets in a greater plan? Is faith silent and uncomplaining then?
