prayer
God. strip me of my happiness and prepare me for joy.
I can feel you working in me-even during my darkest moments of faith. You can bless me with everything I want... and you can take it all away from me. I pray that you take it all. I won't grow in you if you don't challenge me continuously. You know my deepest desire- reveal it to me! I am filled with joy to have your comfort and reliance. Continue to assure me of who you are. Make me more like you in each step I take of this life.
"consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance" James 1:2
