“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Excerpt from the devotion "Contentment" in Form Me, Fire, Me, Fill Me, page 71

...Self can be a dangerous thing. There is always something bigger or better. Our eyes see that there is more to be had. Our ears hear others speak of their possessions and achievements. We strive to reach what is never enough, and become defeated for we are never satisfied...
