“His Word shall not fail you—He promised; believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!”
Dear Lord, even in times of doubt and fear, it is easy to think why these might be the best and happiest days of my life. I have two wonderful children, a steady job, a loving family, good friends, food to eat, and the comforts of life that I need. However, as good as this life is, You have promised me an even greater life with You. As the hymn says, what a day of rejoicing that will be! Heavenly Father, thank You for Your countless blessings in this life, and for the promise of salvation in the next life. May I continue to be thankful, grateful, and full of praise for all You have given, and may I look forward in anticipation and peace to what You have prepared for me. Amen.

Your lament sounds the same as mine. The struggle to be more like Him certainly keeps us on our toes, doesn’t it? Thanks for your thoughtful post.
