My own wilderness experiences and God’s providential care have resulted in an undeniable pattern of goodness in my life.  Yet, I sometimes allow an amnesia of grace to affect my testimony adversely.  Pain, disillusionment, and fear exist.  Struggles and hardships can seem more real than joy.  But through it all, our faithful, loving, and powerful God cares and provides for us.

Dear God, bless me with a memory and a conviction of your presence and deliverance in my life that is stronger than the memories of my anxieties.  I can tell the story today because your power is real in my life.  Amen.
