Oof, I needed this, Amber; thank you so much for sharing such thoughtful words. The hard things are usually what bring us into God's good plan for us!
I've been extra into the intentionality of prayer lately, and this rang true to that sentiment. Prayer can be hard to initiate sometimes, especially routinely, as you mention here, but the reward is so great. The Father literally has given us a way to intercede in life or death matters, and what is more beautiful than that?
Amen! We were talking at bible study this week as well about growth through suffering, but like you shared, even the seemingly simple acts of faith, like prayer or bible reading, can be tough, but our belief and our faith root deeper as we walk in step with Christ. Thanks for sharing how God is working in you!
Our oldest just finished the first semester of final exams for Gr.12. We had fun pulling out my provincial English exam from 22 years ago, and then she happily let me know yesterday that her mark was higher than mine, lol! We can do hard things has been a common phrase here in the last year.
lol I love that you still had your old exam!! What a fun trip down memory lane, and I’m sure she was ecstatic to point out the grade comparison! So thankful God gives us the courage to do hard things.
