Walking by Faith and not by Sight

Trusting even when it appears you have been forsaken;
praying when it seems your words are simply entering a vast expanse
when no one hears and no voice answers;
believing that God's love is complete and that He is aware of your circumstances,
even when your world seems to grind on as if setting its own direction and not
caring for life or moving one inch in response to your petition;
discerning only what God's hands have planned for you,
waiting patiently while seemingly starving to death...
"this is the victory that has overcome the world,"; this is
genuine faith indeed
-George MacDonald

Lord, it's not about Me, after all. It is about You.
It is only by your Grace and Love that you heed our requests and reach out to us.
Not on any other grounds.

"In his heart, a man plan his course but the Lord determines his step" (Proverbs 16:9).
