uncomplicate it

 A prayer I began to pray during the darkest nights and the biggest storms is:

"God, if I have to experience this extreme pain in order to experience the extreme happiness coming my way, I will."

I will wholeheartedly welcome God to break me into a million pieces if that means I will be made into a new creation that will reap all the benefits of His deliverance.

If my pain level is a 10, but it will be rewarded with happiness of level 10, I will endure every ounce of that pain.

If the heartbreak and sorrow feel unbearable, I know for a fact God will return with a love so deep and true, I will never question His plan.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5

I must add in the entire chapter because it’s been on repeat in my mind:

Psalm 30

"I will exalt you, Lord,

for you lifted me out of the depths

and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

Lord my God, I called to you for help,

and you healed me.

You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;

you spared me from going down to the pit.

Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;

praise his holy name.

For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor lasts a lifetime;

weeping may stay for the night,

but rejoicing comes in the morning.

When I felt secure, I said,

'I will never be shaken.'

Lord, when you favored me,

you made my royal mountain stand firm;

but when you hid your face,

I was dismayed.

To you, Lord, I called;

to the Lord I cried for mercy:

'What is gained if I am silenced,

if I go down to the pit?

Will the dust praise you?

Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;

Lord, be my help.'

You turned my wailing into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.

Lord my God, I will praise you forever."
