Lord, If It Is Not Your Will, Take It Away From Me

 


Lord, if it is not your will, don’t let me hold onto it.  Don’t let me fight for what I need to release. Help me to free what I need to let go of.

 Lord, if it is not your will, help me to accept as you take it away from me. Give me the strength to go on knowing that I am better without those things not meant for me. I need your strength to stand strong in the midst of situations that require much of me.

 Lord, if it is not your will, give me the wisdom to understand why things don't always go on our way, why we don't always get what we want. Give me the faith to trust in you and the plans you have for me.

Lord, if it is not your will, help me to embrace it. I would probably be hurt and saddened. Please remind me of your love and your greater plans. You know better. You know what’s right for me.

Lord if it is not your will, help me to stop worrying about it. Give me the peace to hope for the unknown.

Lord if it is not your will, give me the obedience to follow You wherever You want me to go. Give me the patience to wait for better things. You make all things beautiful in Your time.

 Lord, I know you’re working on me to become the person you want me to be. I put my confidence in your will. For I know that what's meant for me will come after me, what's meant to happen will fall into place and what's meant to be part of my life will always arrive.

"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.  They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”  Jeremiah 17:7-8

Don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart

Image
Don’t tell my dad that the daughter he raised to be strong sometimes feels like she’s falling apart. He always told me to stand tall, to face the world with courage, but there are moments when the weight of everything feels too heavy to bear. I’ve learned to smile through the pain, to keep going even when it feels like the ground is crumbling beneath me. But in the quiet of the night, when no one is watching, I let the tears fall. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the confidence he sees in me is sometimes just a mask. I’ve always wanted to make him proud, to show him that I could handle anything life throws my way. But inside, there’s a little girl who still feels scared, who still questions if she’s good enough. I push those feelings down, trying to live up to the image he has of me, but some days, it’s harder than others. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the dreams I’ve been chasing aren’t alwa...

This Is How I Will Love You

Image
  I know you're somewhere out there. I know you're probably as hopeless as I am right now, about to give up on love because it's been so terrible lately, but I know you'll show up in my life at the most unexpected time, and I know we'll just feel it. My mind wanders and goes to the thought of you more frequently than it should. I envision the sound of your voice, the beat of your heart, and the smell of your body. I imagine the way you laugh, the curve of your grin, and how excited I am to get to know you. But today, as I sat here in the park where everyone is moving in their own rhythm, I came to think of you. All of a sudden, I grabbed my notebook and started writing. The first line is this…this is how I will love you. I am not the most beautiful girl you’ll ever see. In fact, my beauty is below average, and you’d probably not notice me at first glance. But I want you to know that I know how to carry myself. I know how to dress properly and accordingly. I ...

She Says She's Not Beautiful

Image
She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw herself smiling when she does the things she love. The way her lips form a grin, the genuine joy in her laughter, the flicker in her eyes when she's lost in her world of creativity. She says she's not beautiful, but she never witnessed the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about her passions and dreams, the way how her face lights up when she talks about her favorites. She says she's not beautiful, but she doesn’t see herself giggle when she plays with her dogs. The way her cheeks glow when she takes care of them, and the way her face brightens up when she speaks how they made her day. Oh, that image is one of my most favorite, favorite views in the world. She says she's not beautiful, but she overlooks the warmth in her voice when she comforts a friend or shares laughter with loved ones. She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw how she stands, the way she presents herself, how she walks and spe...
