Daily Prayer

Good Wednesday afternoon, my friends.

 

Now this is an interesting prayer: "thank you for my thorns."  How often do we say that to God?  We tend to thank Him when the thorns are removed, but rarely while they are still piercing us.  This is challenging, but a life of faith is nothing if not challenging.

 

Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,

Bruce 

 

"My God, I have never thanked You for my thorns.

 

I have thanked You a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns.

 

Teach me the glory of the cross I bear;

Teach me the value of my thorns.

 

Show me that I have climbed closer to You along the path of pain;

Show me that, through my tears, the colors of Your rainbow look much more brilliant."

 

Prayer taken from the story, "Thankful for the Thorns"
