Strength for the Journey
"At times the strength of spiritual community lies in the love of people who refrain from getting caught in the trap of trying to fix everything for us, who pray for us and allow us the pain of our wilderness, our wants, so that we may be more deeply grounded in God." Quote by Rosemary Dougherty
With having three young adults and two young children living in my home it takes great strength and discipline not to fix all of their problems but to hold back, pray, and give suggestions as they stumble along. I pray each one of my young adults will one day find their way closer to our Fathers heart. I really could try to fix all of their problems but they would not learn the great life lessons along the way that they need to live well.
I pray I will have the strength and discipline I need, to stand and pray without getting in the way of spiritual growth.

It takes a great deal of spiritual strength and commitment to the Lord to instead lay them on the altar and pray for the Holy Spirit to work His will in their lives.
Thank you for the reminder, Robin!
