Thank You for giving me all Your help over the last nine months, and for Your forgiveness. As I start this new first day, I thank You that Thou art a God, who will not break a bruised reed - nor will extinguish a dimly burning wick. I thank Thee that Thou has given me a steadfast spirit such as David prayed for after he had fallen. Not pondering on the things recently past, I press on in the wilderness moving steadily forward, not looking back to Egypt. Though the dust storm rages all around, I trust that Thou will prepare a roadway through this wilderness - through this thing which has weakened me so I stumbled. Though I am weary of it, Thou art mighty. My Rock, my Fortress, my Redeemer, and my Strength. My eyes are fixed straight ahead on You my Lord Jesus, as You lead the way…

I Thank You God, as I type this in with a certain amount of fear - knowing that Thou certainly listens to what is posted on this thread as well as throughout this forum, I thank Thee for Your kind and loving words You spoke to me through Mike, many others, as well as through song, and bible verse recently. As You said through Mike while he prayed with me “You have cleared a roadway, You have prepared a path, and are holding my hand.” Quoting exactly what I wrote earlier on this thread. I thank You for Your light that is coming into that pitch dark room to rescue that child sitting all alone by himself as You described me, though it will take time, and an open heart. My heart holds on for Thee. All I can say right now is I thank You for loving a sinner like me. I love You too my God, My Jesus. Thank You, that through the calm and through the storm You never let go of me…

Lord, you heard all of this before, but...one more time won't hurt. =)
Thank you for..

- Calling out to my mom to return to You
- Graciously forgiving us undeserving sinners
- The sense of order and justice in a chaotic, sinful world
- Providing hope, strength, and guidance to people around the world
- Making me aware of your presence on a nearby chair during a job interview (and my boss, too, who is a Christian)
- After getting burned out, you quickly intervened to keep me optimistic in front of the kids :)
- Forcing the thought of Jesus into my mind while being verbally harassed by those men while going home, allowing joy to enter my heart in the midst of it. You shielded me from those attacks.

Praise God!
