The But Prayer

The But Prayer

Life
Lord I am frustrated that I haven’t gotten a job yet.
But I thank you that we are in the position that it does not break our little family.
I am lonely out here in this new town.
But I thank you that I am blessed with a man that I love so much that I would follow him even to where I am lonely.
Lord…. I am sick and tired of wedding planning! I don’t like the process and I’m not excited for the wedding.
But I thank you for the blessing of this man. This companion that I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with.
Oh, and Lord- I get mad when we argue.
But I am so thankful that we can communicate. And that although we differ here and there in habits or opinion- those differences are mere shadows to the love and compassion we share.
Lord- I don’t like this new town we have moved to- it doesn’t feel like home.
But I want to thank you for the beautiful place you blessed me with growing up. And I have faith you will show me local beauties as I grow in this new town and life.
And Lord, I miss my family so much it breaks my heart.
But I am thankful that even though they are far away- you’ve blessed me with a family that I love so much.
Lord I am sad and afraid because of my Grandfather’s failing health.
But I am blessed to have known such a great man. And we are blessed for the long life he has enjoyed.
