Hope for tomorrow

I lean on you and you alone. You're my strength when I have none. When the waves crash over me, you pull me out and rescue me from tragedy. You answer prayers. And sometimes not in the way that I expect. But I still accept that you are a god who knows my needs. You're watching out for me. You have a plan for me. A destiny. And your will slowly be revealed to me. Not all at once but at a manageable speed for if I knew what I was going to do long down the road, I would probably freak out. But god you know what you're doing. You know that I need you and that I need enough grace for the day. Because this world is so busy and I get so lost in it all. You help me up when I fall. So god, hear this prayer. Hear this cry of my heart because I feel like there are some waves crashing over me. Maybe they're not huge waves, but they're more than I can handle. So I need you now to help me weather the storm. I don't know whether you're going to remove the storm from my life or to give me strength to persevere, so God in your infinite wisdom, give me both. You've allotted this task to me. You've chosen this life for me, so release me from the captivity of stress but also give me courage to go through this mess. Because this life is hard. I can get so easily discouraged. But lord, you provide the way for me. I'm just a small ship and you're a big one, and I follow in your wake. You're doing all the hard work, and I simply have to keep up and hold true to your path. So that's what I'll do. I'll listen to you. I'll hold onto your word. Sometimes I have to go through the storm to be sanctified. And that's a tough pill to swallow because I want life to be easy. But it's not. But I know that you are with me and that's all I need.
