The Blessings and the Lessons (7-14-17)

Life is a series of tests, some harder than others. But we are always given exactly what we need to pass with flying colors if we trust in God.

God, it sometimes seems as though life is a big, giant classroom, filled with lessons that need to be learned. I ask that I be given the strength and courage to be up to the challenge of taking on each lesson as it comes. Let me learn from it so I don't have to repeat it. Even during the roughest of moments, help me understand that I am being blessed by the stress, so that I may pass each test with more wisdom, love, and faith in my heart.
