“If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9:23
If you expect that your day is going to run completely smoothly, without any disruptions or challenges or inconveniences, then you either have no ability to observe the world and the people around you or you have never read the Bible. The question is never "if" but "when" and then the answer is either "alone" or "with God".
Lord, You tell us repeatedly that life is not going to be easy and that trials and challenges and "cross bearing" and suffering and all kinds of things we don't desire will happen so help me to appreciate that fact.
