Crescent Bay as viewed from Stripped Mountain, Salt Creek Recreation Area, WA USA
Lord Jesus,
Standing on this distant shore I know you are watching me from above,
Sometimes the waves of sickness, sorrow and fear crash over me,
One after another they come,
Sometimes I can’t see the purpose in my suffering,
Sometimes I feel all alone,
It is at these times I thank you all the more,
For I know you are with me and looking out for me,
I know that you see all things and are “in all things”(1),
I know that “all things work for good for those that love God”(2),
And I certainly love you,
Although I may not understand or know all your ways until I see you in heaven(3),
You remain my hope and my love,
Please give me the grace to live my life in a way worthy of being called a Christian(4).
