Advent day 5

Abba Father,

You are the Great Physician.  I believe you can heal me.  I know you have a plan if you don't.  Help me to wait on you.  You know where I'm at.  Help me to endure without complaint and not become consumed with self.  Teach me to be more aware of others suffering and flow through me to show your love, compassion and kindness.  Help me to step out of the way so the Holy Spirit will be unencumbered.  Teach me balance today.  Teach me not to give up hope.  Teach me the balance between pursuing health and being content with where you have me right now.  The list of people that I want to bring before you grows everyday Lord.  Teach me how to pray for them.  How to look first to worship and thanksgiving before I turn my eyes to the growing needs of a sinful, fallen world.  I know you love them.  I know you love them more than I ever could.  Words can express your greatness.  You are awesome!  You hold all things in your hand.  Our lives, our stories.
