(Paul wrote:) But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength. ~ 2 Timothy 4:17a (CEB)
Lord, I'm facing some big challenges in my life right now. I'm sorry that I let those challenges discourage me sometimes. But I do get a lot of strength from knowing that you are on my side. It's all going to workout so that your agenda for the world is completed -- and at the same time I'm going to enjoy your salvation. Those challenges don't feel as big anymore. Amen.
