How can one possibly understand all You have done and Your every desire?
Not one human being has the mind of You, oh God!
It is simply not possible.
How can a creation understand its Creator?
You are far above what the human mind can grasp.
You are beyond what the human eye can see, the touch of a finger can sense, and the hearing of an ear can understand.
You are greater than even the wise can comprehend…how great You are, oh Lord!
May Your dreams become my dreams,
And Your thoughts my thoughts.
May Your desire become the craving of my very soul,
And my life reflect the glory of Your name–
Yet who can understand it?
You give me strength to function despite my weaknesses.
You make Your desires possible despite my failures.
You keep me focused on You despite all other distractions.
You cause my faith to grow despite my doubts.
You are my Victory in every battle, my Healer in every brokenness, and my Redeemer in every failure.
You are my God who never fails me!
No matter how poor on this earth we may be, we can always be rich in Christ.
No matter how physically weak, we can be made spiritually strong.
No matter how physically hungry, we can become filled by the spiritual food that comes from God alone–a satisfaction only He can bring.
No matter the physical suffering, we can have a joy from Christ alone that not one on this earth can snatch away.
The Lord alone can bring us comfort in any distress,
Strength in every weakness,
Victory in every challenge–
An eternal hope that not one can cut short!
Direct my vision, Lord;
You know what I need to see and what I do not need to see.
Open my ears to words of truth,
That they may be carefully taken to heart.
Guide my every step so that I walk steadfastly in all Your ways,
Not of worldly pleasure that fades away,
But with an eternal joy that is only found in You.
Epilepsy surgery update:
So, sorry to all I’ve been quite behind on things as of late. After months of waiting in quite anticipation, I finally had my 6th, and what we greatly hope to be last, brain surgery. (July 3rd, last week) It went quite well, and was by far the least painful surgery I’ve ever had. (Laser ablation, removal of my left hippocampus) So far I’m doing quite well, no seizures, and hope to start physical therapy soon to get more in shape in addition to slowly decreasing all the medications I’ve been on for years now. (Which have done well at decreasing seizures for the most part, but have required max doses and have had lots of side effects…especially excited to stop them!) I am quite excited. Thanks all for your prayers…I’m quite excited to see where God will be leading me in the years ahead! 🙂
