Jesus, I can be thankful even for the struggles in my life and the things that are difficult, because they force me to turn to You for help and You always give me the answers. You make things so clear and easy to understand. All I have to do is turn my heart to You and receive.

          Without difficulties, disappointments, and failures I wouldn’t have come to know Your compassion, Your understanding, and Your forgiveness, and I wouldn’t be able to pass them on to others.

          Thank You for all the things You bring my way to keep me humble and make me more dependent on You. Thank You for keeping me close to You. Amen.
