The Prayer

I am thankful that in the midst of deep struggles I can--with confidence-- pray the prayer . .
.
I am thankful that when all seems to be good, everything seems to be falling into place I can--with confidence--pray the prayer . . .

I am thankful that when I have no idea what God is up to I can--with confidence--pray the prayer .
. .
I am thankful that when I have a good idea of what God is up to and I don't like it one bit I can pray--with confidence--the prayer. . .

I am thankful that when God gives me an opportunity to touch someone's life with His love I can--with confidence--pray the prayer . . .

I am thankful when I see no visible evidence that God is using me at all I can--with confidence--pray the prayer . . .

I am thankful that every morning when I wake up and every evening before I go to sleep I can--with confidence--pray the prayer. 
. .

Yes, no matter what, you and I can and should--with confidence--pray the prayer: "Nevertheless, Lord, not my will, but Thine."
