When I wrote my post on Saturday, and was thinking about where I’ve come in the last ten years, I decided to look back in my journal to see what I was thinking and writing back then. In 2002, I wrote this short poem and prayer in my prayer journal.
Wisdom
The wisdom of the Lord
Is beyond comprehension
For those who reject the Truth
But the wisdom of the Lord
Is comfort and understanding
For those who love His Truth
Lord, I seek Your wisdom for I find it is much superior to my own. I thank you for your Holy Spirit, who helps me to understand Your Word, to be obedient to Your call, to persevere in the midst of trials and tribulations. Though I do not fully know what Your plan is, I know it is superior to any plan I could come up with, and I see each part of my life, each trial and each blessing, as part of Your plan. Help me to always trust in Your plan, forsaking my own.
