I received this book about a month ago and it has been such a blessing to me.
I had just finished Lord, Heal My Hurt and it was the perfect follow up.
I wanted to share some of what stood out at me specifically:
"Trust is a gift you give to someone you love. It's a gesture of respect.....Prayer is an offering of trust. So is patience, being willing to wait, even when the urge to take over is strong. "
"God gives us what we need, not always what we want. He gives us what we need to grow and draw closer to Him and accomplish HIS purposes, and my own peace and joy depend in part on accepting what He chooses to give me." (with thanksgiving)
"God wants me to lean on Him the way a weary shepherd leans on his staff. He wants me to be comforted by His mighty power and to depend on Him, not on my own little efforts, to get through life."
"To fill my cup with thanksgiving means to live in the belief that God is working for good even when it seems things are falling apart.
(This one was from another Emilie Barnes book I also read, A Quiet Refuge.)
"Lord, for whatever I am receiving and about to receive-pain as well as joy- please teach me the secret of giving thanks. "

What a beautiful post, Angel. Just noticed tonight (because Veracity pointed it out to me!) that you do not have a facebook account anymore. Is this part of the healing of your heart you write about in this post?
