Welcoming Life’s Trials

 Lord, some days I don’t think I can take one more trial, one more difficulty that comes into my life.  I know that I can be blind to the many blessings in my life.  Help me learn to welcome everything that happens in my life–good and bad, expected and unexpected.  Let me accept trials as gifts from the Father.  Quiet my protests when my spirit wants to fight any sufferings that I must face.  Fill me with your love, strength and peace.
