and emotional pain and have cried out to the Lord. Always, it is my
faith that sustains me. I have spent many times in the hospital, in bed
at home for months and have endured great physical pain. I have al-
ways believed the Lord would heal me and he has. I have tried to of-
fer my pain up to the Lord as a sign of my love for him.
The virtue of patience is one I have struggled with my entire life.
When I need or want for something, it has always been difficult for me
to wait patiently. I know the Lord's time is not always my time and I
need to trust and believe in his wisdom. I know that when the time is
right, God will answer my prayers. Even though he does not always
say "yes", I trust in his plan for my life. I believe he wants the best for
me and that his love is boundless. My greatest gift is my faith. I would
not be the person I am nor would I have a purpose for living without
it. I continue to try to give back, with gratitude, and do for others what
the Lord has done for me.
Prayer
Lord, you have always been there for me. Help me to continue to feel
your presence in my life and to never doubt your wisdom. Let me fo-
cus on the cross and always remember that because of your love,
you died for me. What greater love could you give.
