You Lord do not prevent every difficulty or trouble from coming to us, for in your wisdom you know that our growth comes in and through problems and hardships.

Each uncomfortable, unwanted situation is another chance to honor you with faith and the sacrifice of praise.

it is an opportunity to dance with joy on the stage of life, clothed in grace, energized with truth, surrounded by the light of your love.

I can rest in your goodness, I can rejoice in your power, I can exult in your faithfulness, I can praise you for the unknown that is to come today, this week, this year. For what you bring will be used for good; glory be to you forever.

May I always dance with joy on the stage of life, bringing honor to you!
