Help me to forget the big things that get in the way of seeing the small things you do for me. Help me to recognize that it is in the small things that we flourish. So often the stress of this life, the burdens we carry blind us from the joy only you can bring and the blessing you give. Allow me today to give you the big things and enjoy the small ones.
To revel in the toothless smile of my daughter, and not worry about the rebellion from her sister. To rejoice in the success of my son's spelling test, and not worry about the stress from work. To allow you to control things I want to hold on to, but know that you can handle them far better than I can, let me trust in you. Help me to know with certainty that what you have in store for me is far grander than what I plan for myself.
In your name I pray. Amen."
