Never give up; you never know until you try.
Here we go again! I haven't posted in several weeks because I've once again found that I had nothing new to say. It seems as if I've been on this treadmill forever, trying every "trick" I can think of, as well as ones others have suggested. I'm running up against nothing but closed doors, and it's getting on my last nerve!
The other day, after I literally vented a Charlie Brown-style, "Ahhhhhhhh!" I prayed aloud, "Lord, who is slamming these doors--you or Satan?" I'm still waiting for the answer to that one, but the bottom line is that doors are closed. I'm left praying, doing what I can, and claiming the biblical promise that if I keep knocking, a door will open. My poor knuckles are raw at this point, but I'm not giving up!
This is to encourage people to dare to dream, because you never know until you try; to face adversity, which we all face in one form or another, and keep on keepin' on; to do what they can and allow God to do what they can't.
The Serenity Prayer
This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference
