Romans 12: 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,faithful in prayer.
I'm actually writing this on June 1. I read the devotions and selected this verse yesterday, but I never got around to writing the blog post. I liked this verse as a summary. It seems like a great life motto, chosen on the last day of the year I completely changed my life through retirement from teaching.
I'm trying to be joyful in the hope that Ron's cure is finally here. I've been patient in dealing with his affliction, especially during treatment. I am also dealing with the depression of my mother following the death of her final sibling and the secret revealed during the funeral trip. I'm still praying, even when I am not feeling it.
Prayer: I need You, Lord. I need to keep my joy, even in the face of affliction. I need to feel more in touch with You. Stay beside me.
Amen.
