Rejoice Always

Today my period came.  I have been thinking of my pledge to trust God with an even greater trust than I think possible for me.  And I want to learn how to rejoice in the Lord in all things.  Even this.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 4:4-7)

Lord Jesus, you are all powerful, all knowing and all loving.  I place my desires and my whole life in your hands.  Teach me to trust in your beautiful plan for my life.  As I over my life, I can see how you guided me and led me to where I am today.  Help me not forget how my sorrow has turned to joy in so many past events.  Like the time we almost bought a house that was totally not as good as the one we have now.  You turned my sorrow into a greater joy than I thought possible.  You always have my better interest in mind, even when I don't understand what that is.  Help me to have an eternal view of my life each and every day.  Give me your love and your grace, that's enough for me.
