Dear Father, Thank you for hearing my prayers, and for answering me in that still small assuring voice. You always come through in spite of my temper tantrums. Oh that I would trust you and wait through the hard times with grace and patience. Do this work in me, I pray.
Today and yesterday have been great days. You have set in me a hope for my future in your kingdom. I have a place with you for all eternity. I have been given all good things, and an assurance that you hold me in your hand, and have not forsaken me.
I went running today. It was rough. It has been rough the last two times. Nevertheless, I have been given the motivation to plow ahead to 45 minutes today. It was a beautiful run on the linear trail. The warm weather for November was great for running. The leafy trail and the birds above head gave me a beautiful setting to run in. Your creation. I love exploring. When we were little, we used to go exploring with dad. He would take us on walks or down hallways, or wherever we could find to go, and we would explore it. I think that need for exploration will always be with me in my heart.
I want to explore you oh God. I heard C.S. Lewis say that he thought in heaven, we would be exploring the depths of God for all eternity. How mysterious and incredible. I cannot wait. I start now again today. The depths of God. The sheer awe of your character. The true meaning of love. I live within your heart, Christ, and ask for the path to explore you this year. I love you, and I want nothing more, and nothing less. Let my desires be set in your heart and nowhere else.
