Give Me Faith Like a Child

I've got an MRI that shows a picture of a severely damaged back. I've got a kind doctor who congratulated me for walking today. I've got pain and I've got aches and I've got challenges in front of me...

...but all I can think about is the God who is behind me.

God,
Give me faith like a child! Not so I can be oblivious to the circumstances, but so I might be enlightened of your power over them! Touch my body with the hands which created it. Put Satan and these infirmities under my feet so that I can dance for you! Send your Holy Spirit to shape within me a humble and faithful servant which you can use for the glory of your kingdom. Teach me this lesson in faith so that I can be closer to you. I give you all the praise and the honor and the glory for what you have done and will do in my life. I love you.

~Sarah

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
(Isaiah 41:10)
