is it possible?

 "DO  some  most  part  half  your portion  what you want  what's fair EVERYTHING without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life..." Philippians 2:14-15

When climbing the mountains in our life feel insurmountable, and the pain intensifies, tempers flare, reason escapes, fear escalates and the desperate changes we seek feel too distant, remember---

Life is...
not about fairness, but righteousness
not about our way, but God's way
not about conquering, but surrendering to God
not about independence, but dependence on God
not about our glory, but His.

Father, help us keep our eyes on You.  You are our One true Hope, our Way, our Savior, our Protector, our Healer. Because of Your love for us, we will trust and follow You.  Give us strength to keep standing and believing. We desperately need Your Light shining through us in dark, troubling days to help bring healing to our hurting lands.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
