For When I Can’t Understand

Today I’ve pondered…
For many blessings, I am thankful…
From many struggles, I am battered…
For many questions, I seek answers…
For the future, I seek direction…
From the past, I long for release…
For today, I pray for strength…
For just in the hours that I’ve lived today, I have encountered love, excitement, fear, frustration, injustice, innocence…
Along with so many, there is so much about life that is unfair, even cruel… And yet we cling to our every breath, hoping for peace in the journey.
Somedays, all I can do is take all that I don’t understand and pray that one day I’ll at least be able to let go of the unanswered questions and find the courage to fully trust the One who holds all the answers to life’s ‘whys’…
So, for myself, and even those others I’ve encountered today,tonight I pray…
